Geo, lots of fakes out there.

Although I was sure that the police holster we looked at yesterday was real, but it was so 'new' looking (we had the opportunity to visit for a few hours yesterday and look at a fairly unusual Simson) that I had to just double check with you.
The holster was a police, 1939 and looked brand new..

Now, obvious fakes, that is just plain lack of knowledge.

The button on the takedown flap pulled through Yes, I have seen this on Paki holsters many times. The leather is cheap and mealy, ends up either soft or rock hard. Either way it's the World's worst leather. The good news... the buyer is only going to waste $195 if he has a Rottweiler who needs a new chew toy.
