8/21/19 - This is an original 1941 dated Luger holster. The back of the holster is dated, waffen stamped, and maker code stamped. The holster is very nice, but there is some missing stitching along the edge of the holster. This goes from the closure strap attachment on the left side (when looking at the front) down to the beginning of the toe on the holster. The leather is in great overall condition with normal pliability and no major issues. So besides the stitching issues this is a very nice collectible holster.
