Pete, yes I agree ! I placed a bid for this item, but I do not want to bid more, because of the closure strap and the stock. I don't like the back of the holster also..(but the leather boot parts are excellent). your observation is very pertinent.

Another holster to ponder :

IIRC...this "repro" holster has the same date/maker mark you see on the "repro" leather TM08 carriers as well...

Pete, the last one you posted is a fake. The seller covers his ass by stating that he is not certain that it is original.

George,

I think these "repro" holsters are just that.

They become a "fake" in how they are sold by some with more lust for money than honesty...
