Yet another fraud

The holster is a fake and without checking, the 400 isn't even in the accepted Nazi contract range. It is also missing the Eibar proofs on the left rear of frame. I believe this is/was a very early Astra 400. It has the early military acceptance stamp on the left trigger guard web. It is probably pistol number 371. Somebody has ruined an otherwise very collectable Astra.
