7/31/18 - This is an original WW2 production 1944 dated holster for the model 1911A1 pistol. The back of this holster is maker stamped and dated. The leather is soft and pliable but has nice natural shape from holding a pistol. The exterior has a few light scuffs but no major or notable flaws. The interior leather has trace amounts of mold, which can be cleaned / removed. Stitching all original and in tact. Guaranteed original.
