8/7/19 - This is an original 1944 dated P.38 softshell style holster with pebble grain style leather. The holster is "4" stamped on the back leather for 1944, along with a "CXB" maker stamp and P.38 stamp. The "P" in the P.38 stamp is very faint for unknown reasons (likely due to a bad stamp-strike). The holster leather is very clean and strong, and the stitching is all original and in tact. No notable flaws or issues.
