Dutch holster

Yes, $300 is pretty steep for a repro, but it is a difficult holster to make properly and this one looks fairly good from the photos shown. An original holster is going to cost from 6 to 10 times that amount depending on condition. I agree with you that anyone making that quality of repro ought to be advertising, but if someone can pass them off as original and get far more than a repro price, perhaps the greed factor is too great.
It appears to be a very nicely made holster and would make a good "place holder" until a real one comes along...I just wish it only cost about 1/2 what they are asking, then I would buy one.
