Real or fake? - Page 2

Gun is a K Date (1934). Seller's grandfather could have picked up a fake holster along the way 40+ years ago (not all guns were brought back with a German holster... my father's wasn't).

Post close ups of the tool.

Just because a grandfather's Luger, that was captured during WW2 was stored in that holster for 40 years, doesn't mean that the holster is a genuine German Luger holster... All of the stamps are wrong... you can buy stamps to say anything you want and put their mark on anything you want, that doesn't make them genuine.

Get your money back and use it for a downpayment on the Luger... Why do you think they sold the holster separately?
