AK, This is ... a poor representation of a type 2 Imperial Navy likely made in a poor third World country, perhaps Pakistan or India.
Most original Imperial holsters smell like stale tobbaco, leather & must. The thing you do not want to smell is leather only. That means it is likely new.
It is best if you are going to dabble in Imperial Navy items that you first invest in a good book or two. There are several good ones on the used market..I suggest Benders, Luger Holsters & Accessories. Expensive but worth the money.
Could you please point me towards some Paki copies so I can compare. How long have they been making repro luger holsters?
Most people who have them are not anxious to show them off or put them in books.
Repro's began almost immediately.... after 1945 to present was the most prolific.
