My spies report that mags made at the former E. German Suhl facility are now being stamped with the Nazi era Haenel-Schmeisser stamp/logo and sold for $200.

In addition, they report the same source has made up some K date holsters with KM markings. This source is the former midwest connection with an apparent link to Arizona, I am told.

This info is unconfirmed by me but I have received it from two different sources...both extremely knowledgeable collectors. so, BE WARNED!

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?

Hey Shadow and the rest of the forum,

You guys 8really* need to be subscribing to AUTOMAG; it keeps serious tabs on the fakery that abounds...and yes, be very careful about things that come from the MIDWEST.

A simple way to check holsters for authenticity is to close your eyes...don't look at them, use other senses...

Yes, use your nose. Old German leather usually has a faint, unmistakable odor. Old Turkish leather, on the other hand, often has an odor such that you need to open the windows for a while and leave the offending item outside for a week to air out. And new holsters smell like new holsters.

New, original looking markings on an old original holster are an entirely different subject.
