Fake Luft Holster

Here is an oddity I have not come accross before...A fake Luftwaffe Eagle stamped holster.
I have observed what I believe to be authentic holsters with this stamp on the top lid, flying the other direction of course. This one is flying the wrong way.

Jerry,

Yanno, this embossed Luftie eagle on the bucket is sufficiently cool that if it weren't real (And it ain't), it shudda been.

This is a rare holster. The reversed "Gehen die HÃ?Â¶lle heraus" used by the Luftwaffe after the Brits shot the snot out of them in The Battle of Britain.

Don't you think that this holster is a fake overall? Doesn't the stamp say P38 instead of P08? How about the stitching on the back of the holster?

Steve, Yes, The holster itself is a repro. Jerry Burney
