LP08 corduroy holster

Hello Jerry,

Accepting that you are the leather 'chief', if the LP-08 holster is not made of pigskin, what type of leather is it? My European style Carbine scabbard is made of the same 'leather' with the irregular 'grain' in the leather. How does this grain come to exist in the leather if it is from cow leather? I am familiar with the pebble grain pattern applied to some early holsters made of cow leather, and I assume that the 'grain' is a natural feature on this LP-08 holster.

I had changed my mind regarding the Persian LP-08 rigs being made of goat leather to being made of camel leather, so I would welcome your opinion regarding this early LP-08 holster and my Carbine scabbard.

Cheers,
Albert
