I'd say this is a repro; is my judgment correct?

I wonder if this one will actually sell.

John Sabato · 01-15-2014, 02:35 PM

Stitching is by machine and too uniform to be original. Leather shows virtually no aging. Stampings look new. Belt loops not installed at the proper angle, and look almost vertical.

This holster is worth about $25.00, and no more in my opinion. And that is only if you wanted it...

I'm not an expert on holsters at all, but I wouldn't look at it twice.

I enclose for comparison a photo of an holster for a Portuguese P08 contract byf- Mauser dated 1937

IMHO

John is correct. A poorly made repro. Bill

Man, that would be bad if someone was to buy that item.

That's what I was thinking. I put it on my watch list to see what happens...

It's so obvious you don't even have to go beyond the first pic. Some people have _____ of steel.

Expensive lesson.

Ignorance can get really expensive.

I don't think anyone lost ther a$$ yet.

It appears that the listing ended and was relisted and someone has made an offer.....hopefully nowhere close to the "Buy It Now" price.

This seller is still at it http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=151207853640 The offer has expired, and it's still on the block. Human nature is a curious thing.
