Greg, Nah, the little guy would be poisoned. Thanks for your generosity though! Good advice though..keep looking. The right one will appear sooner or later. In the meanwhile..get a good education on holsters so you KNOW what you might be looking at.

A couple of hints..original holsters have a distinct shape to the top & the magazine pouch . like a beautiful woman..the curves are all pleasing. Look at enough correct holsters and you can tell from a distance.

Take a close look at the closure buckle. Originals will always have sharp turned corners. 90 degrees. Repro buckles will have wide sweeping corners.

Remember to look at the belt loops. A slight cant and even to one another. lay a straight edge on the stitching lines and they will all line up. The two short lines of stitching to the right bottom of the left loop will line up as well. These anchor in the pull up strap. Look at the three holes in the closure strap. They will not be round but oval. There are another dozen tells to look at but the more you look the more you will see. Eugene Bender produced a very good book on Luger holsters. Luger Holsters & Accessories. It's a fun & fascinating read for many reasons but get a copy and study what original German Luger holsters really look like. The Germans had been making leather items for centuries and the absolute height of their leather craftsmanship is evident in their abilities to make these fascinating holsters. You should first see the quality. Anything less than stellar quality and suspicious ideas creep into my mind.
