My impression was that Bulgarian holsters are relatively plentiful and inexpensive. Is this actually true?

I bought one at auction online, and it's configured like the one above with straight stitching. Unfortunately, the muzzle of the gun it held wore a slight hole in the face of the toe. Worse yet, I based my $40 bid on a single pic, of the front only. Its belt loops have been removed and some clever technician has sliced through the back and created two vertical slits for a belt!
