Holster Test...

Pete, I do not believe this holster is authentic. Look at the ears over the cleaning rod pouch. Double stitched on more than the first row...The pull-up strap is not attached at the upper hinge area. Hard to tell where it is attached actually. It should be attached at the hinge and under the stock block.
The stock block is put on crookedly and the ends of it are rounded. Originals are not this crooked and the ends are square. A top collector just recently sent me a very well made repro Artillery. Well done but still a repro in the end.
One other thing to notice on this one..Look where the front body cutout is made, it is way too low right above the pull-up strap. This holster just dosen't cut it. Jerry Burney
