Opinion on a Gunbroker Item

George, thanks for your opinion. I believe you, but for the sake of learning, is is the date ( 1920) or the "C . Billep" manufacturer thing that makes you think the markings are bogus- thanks Michael

Hi, C. Billep, Spandau, is a listed holster maker. That fact, of course, does not make this rig genuine. Regards

Location of marking is wrong, never seen a 1920 stamp in the holster, only the stock or gun. Crown/S mark was reserved for weapons not leather.
