When I was in Germany I made the typical Yank tourist mistake of ordering a 'hamburger'...And that is what I got. What I wanted was a 'beefburger', and there is a big difference.

When I asked about this I was told that beef [cattle] were not as common as in America, so ham [from hogs] was more common. So jackets, purses, shoes, etc were more commonly made from pigskin than cowhide.

I would assume this also applied to holsters.

The Bundeswehr Luftwaffe flight jacket I brought back was pigskin as well. Dyed gray.
