I have never seen an original one but I saw some repro in Poland, in the early 90's. I don't like the stitching nor the stamp at first glance. Can you show some bigger pics?

looks strange like aged fake- you can buy good repro on allegro for little money
Real holster is VERY rare and very hard to find - even in PolandComment

I have only seen Polish holsters with ink stamps inside. In my collection I´ve got also an origin prewar holster in very collectible condition, the cleaning rod is unmarked.Comment

Well, that's what I meant, the quality of the leather, the stitching and the stamp! You can now compare and see the difference.

The first one is a repro. Stiching is bad and of bad quality. Stamp is fresh too. The second one is perfect original.
Radom holsters were started to be faked in seventies. What I heard number of them was made for museums by original leather workers who worked on them before the war and using original dies. I assume that more were made than what museums needed. Later they were faked more. Many were made using old leather and were nicely aged.
I think original's value is from $1500 up depending on condition. Cleaning rods are rare too.
