Is this 1941-stamped holster original?

Good observations Jimbo... you pegged it correctly... This holster IS a modern reproduction... it is not an original WW2 holster... and I feel sorry for anyone who paid over $200 for this... it is a $40 holster at best...

Unfortunately, the seller on ebay never claimed it was an original... only that it was stamped 1941 (as many modern reproductions are...)

I don't recognize any of the bidders list either... I can only hope that they are not forum members... that would be even more of a bummer.
