OK! I try to steer beginning collectors in the right direction . crusty & nasty, Funny! I think the same thing about Pakistani repro's! Different strokes for different folks!
In the long run original leather is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. I have holsters in my collection that are soft as butter, smell sweet and are a thing of beauty. old World German craftsmanship is a treasure to observe. The have a sense of history about them that is so important to a genuine collector of military artifacts. The markings are interesting..the patina, even the stitching. Everything about them brings history alive.
