Ron, I am interested to know why you believe this?
I have had several Ersatz paper holsters in my shop and none looked like this one. The edges invariably seperate to disclose the many layers the material is fabricated of. I cannot be 100% certain because of the photo's but this sure looks like leather to me.
Another indicator of a paper holster is shape. It holds it's shape well if tacked down around the edges such as a holster body but on tops it tends to flatten out. This top is beautifully formed and retains it's shape well.
It's true that many of the paper holsters you speak of had the pebble grain surface. Interesting none the less!
Let me know...Jerry Burney
