I would assume this also applied to holsters.

The Bundeswehr Luftwaffe flight jacket I brought back was pigskin as well. Dyed gray.
I would tend to agree with you, but if that was so, wouldn't there be more pigskin luger holsters than regular ones?

Last time I told my Belgian mother in law I was in the mood for a steak I didn't specify beef. Horse isn't bad, just not as good...
