Gentlemen, Are there any believers out there and if so, why? Or should I add, why not?

why not? It looks real to me, except for the white stitching, the too new leather, the belt straps..... okay, it doesn't look real to me either....

Ed, Yes but... It is virtually unissued and is ABSOLUTELY not a fake. According to the seller.
I guess it has no lifting strap...I cannot see where it is sewn to the right of the bottom left belt loop.
The corners of the bottom of the mag pouch are pinched but not sewn.
The right belt loop was put on during a bombing raid or after too many beers. Had to have passed theHeers WaA though...
I just happen to have a 98% condition original Police holster right in front of me and if this guy's holster is original I will pay full price for it AND boil it and eat it.

It reminds me of a pair of Buster Brown Oxfords that my mother made me wear to school when I was 7. Everybody else had Keds...

That is funny. I had the same problem, Mom bought me those Buster Browns too, and I think I am 10 years younger
