Another fake holster

This is another example of neophites spending their hard earned $ on junk. An original with some wear or damage is one thing but a out and out 1950's or 60's phoney is an altogether different can of worms. Jerry Burney

Something to do about the stitching on the rear, single line or some such....

1. How/why does a German leather maker, making a holster for a WWI German Navy luger, use a stamping for a WWII British war ship...?

Info. on the HMS Victorious :

2. The Navy zig-zag rod looks like it is rusting steel...not brass.
