Good morning gents! Thank you Rob for the additional photo's. It is as feared, a fanciful tale told in wood & leather. George & Don make some good points..The latch has a flat end, which is also a reproduction tell, I meant to mention myself yesterday but it was late and I forgot but as Don says..always a reproduction tell. Also the carry strap..the holes should have a teardrop shape and the cup dear Yorick, is empty. I was waiting to see the underside of the toe strap but it;s not needed now. The cleaning rod is a mighty long nail but nail it is!

It's more likely than not to find some of these same spurious markings on the holster? Rob, if you have time or inclination after this beating..we might as well look at the rest of it?
