Default 1939 holster

A few months ago, I took my 1939 Mauser code 42 luger and a dated 1939 holster to Simpsons in Galesburg, Ill for them to sell. An older gentleman came out from the back room to look it over. He criticised the luger as being reblued (I knew that) as well as frost in the bore (knew that too, but it was very accurate). He really blasted the holster that it was modified. Holster was complete and in excellent condition. He said it had a huge piece of leather missing (?). So, with all that I put a rather low price on it ($2400). It sold immediately! I think I got screwed! Since then I have looked at many holsters that looked exactly like mine. I do not trust the so called experts at Simpsons anymore! Rant over!
