P38 Holstern marked "off" and "ozz" genuine ?

[C PPP]

Just acquired 2 P38 hard shell holsters with what seems to be "off 43" and "ozz 44" marking respectively . Never heard of these codes nor are the holsters P38 marked.

What manufacturers are we talking about and I always thought that hard shell holsters were stopped in 43.

Any chance they are genuine ? Source is normally very reliable. This is why I bought them. I will post photos once I pick them up.

Thanks for the any info up front.

doesn't sound good. I looked at the list of holster makers by code, and those aren't listed...

ozz is Chemieprodukte KG Lack u Lackwarenfabrik in Berlin-Britz.
off is Bohle & Cie GmbH Isolierwerk u. metalwarenfabrik in Koln.

There are late hard shell holsters in 44 but rare. Neither of these manufacturers are leather factories afaik.

Thanks for your help guys. As we all suspected, they were fakes. I got to have a look at them today when I got home and they clearly "smelled" the wrong way.

Unfortunately I was not able to take photos, since I returned them right away and had no camera ,but at least I got the seller convinced that these were fakes, not even good ones. They smelled artificial and the placement of the codes made no sense at all.

I appreciate your help and keep well.
