Reproduction Luger Holsters

Two months ago, I bought a couple of very nice new reproduction P.08 holsters (one brown and one black) from a gun shop in Culver City, California. The last name of the shop is Retting, and they do have a website. They had both holsters in stock when I bought the brown one, but when I went back the black one had been sold. It took them a couple of weeks to get another black one in on special order. As far as I can tell, the holsters are very faithfull to the originals, including the "lifting strap" and the takedown tool pouch (with tool) on the underside of the flap. Both holsters are stamped "P08" on the back--the brown one also says "Karl Ackva AG Bad Kreuznach 1934" and the black one has the small Nazi Eagle over the swastika emblem and also smallcase letters jkh 42. Both holsters are brand new, and have the white heavy stitching with the wax-like finish on the leather. They also have the extra magazine pouch on the front of the holster. My Lugers fit in them just right. I think the holsters were about $45 each.
