Never seen a stamp like this on a P08 holster

If you have a whole bunch of $3 bills you want to get rid of, they would be perfect for purchasing this holster.

Based upon characteristics, can anyone guess at it's actual origin?

With the caveat that we don't want to describe the more subtle problems, I'd be up to making an FAQ on this if anyone wants to start with the list of problems that this one has:

1. Fake "inspection / maker" stamp. Manufacturers did not government inspect and mark their own goods. The acceptance stamp was separately applied by a government inspector and workers assigned to the factory.

2. The weight of the leather and shape of the holster is incorrect

3. Front flap strap sewed on at an incorrect angle

4. Stitching uneven

Hi Marc,
The problems with this holster are almost too many to list, but here are a couple to get you started:
The backs of the magazine pouches on authentic Third Reich holsters, unlike Imperial holsters, are part of the same piece of leather as the backs of the holsters (see photos, genuine holster pictured first).

Secondly:
The closure straps on Third Reich military holsters are sewn on with two rows of stitches, anything different is fake (again, genuine holster first).
