Possible fake holsters on ebay?

Here is a comparison of a genuine left belt loop on a holster that has seen service (brown) to this holster in this auction.

The repro holster has never even been on a belt since there is no stretch stress where it would fit around a belt being worn by a user...

Also notice the major difference int the stitching of the genuine holster compared to the repro. This holster was only worth about $30 new... and now that the owner has "weathered" it... it is worthless... I feel sorry for the "winner"... <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />

I checked the bidders list and didn't see any 'handles' that I recognized as forum members... too bad all the Luger enthusiasts in the world don't spend some time here to get educated before being separated from their hard earned money...
