1938 Navy Holster

Everything looks legit to me on this holster...except the Navy proof. If any of you have original holsters look on the back. Right where this nice crisp Navy proof, is the holster sustains a tremendous amount of wear from the belt. On many if not most holsters you can see a fair amount of rubbing right in this spot. Often it rubs away the proofs completely. Or at least flattens them untill you have to look in oblique light to see what they are.
This holster has been wet, it's shrunk up and deformed in places. This crisp new Navy proof is suspect to me. I would want to see it in person to really have a 100% negative opinion but from what I see, I don't like it. Any other opinions? Jerry Burney
