4/9/18 - This is an original 1941 dated P.38 hardshell holster. The holster is "joa" maker stamped with a 1941 date and waffen WaA706 military proof stamped. The holster leather is fairly firm with some pliability and overall very nice. There is some light surface wrinkling throughout the front lid piece of leather - as shown in photos. The wrinkling isn't very deep into the leather at all. The sttiching is all tight and original with no notable flaws. The interior leather is clean. Guaranteed original and authentic.
