4/18/18 - This is an original 1941 dated P.38 holster. The back of the holster is "gxy" maker code stamped with a 1941 date and waffen proof eagle WaA706. There's also a P.38 stamp on the back leather. The leather is somewhat pliable but overall excellent with some light fading of the original black ink. There is also some minimal scuffing, but no cracks or wrinkling on the leather. The stitching is all original and in tact. Guaranteed original and authentic.
