Finnish Holster

I am sure this is Finnish - but lets tell the story

I am walking around the gun show and see a table with Luger stuff; five holsters and a pair of grips. He must have known that I knew a bit about lugers and he asked me my opinion on prices. I told him, sure, you want me to tell you amounts that it'll sell?

He said, sure.

So, he pulled one nice 1937 brown holster aside (not sure why) - and I looked at each one and told him $150-$250 for three of them. A couple had issues, but overall were nice ones. The brown one was nicer, and I told him to ask $300-$350. This one, I said, well, I think its worth $150, maybe a bit more, but I'd like it and would give you $100 - he said, how about $125? I told him that seemed fair.

My thoughts on this - it will not hurt my feelings if you feel differently....
The rivets to me are classic Finn
Has replacement strap hold down and inner tool pouch replacement

One odd thing and perhaps its normal? Is this pooched out towards the toe leather (see circled picture)

Another odd thing is the length, doesn't the holster seem short? A normal luger fits inside, but it seems that its too short...

OH, and another odd thing is the cleaning rod pouch - why is there a cleaning rod? Added I am sure, but normal?
