Hi,
I've had this 1935 S French holster for several years. I purchased it on ebay from a lady antque dealer in the U.K.
As you can see it has a large Party Leader style eagle on the flap. The stamp shows age, rubbing and patina from being carried , the left wing tip is rubbed very thin. Inside the flap is an inverted circular green ink stamp, with a Nazi Eagle in the center. The border printing is illegible.
I have posted this on a couple of collector forums. Replies / opinions range from "Fake" to "Unusual" to "Possibly Authentic". To me it is very convincing, but it could be a very well done fake. I've had a French pistol and holster collector tell me that it's not a typical French 1935 S holster, in that the belt loops and stitching are not typically of French style or design for the period, and appear to be of German origin.
I thought I would post it here to get some opinions, or to see if anyone knows more about it's origin. If it is a fake, it's a very well done fake, and seems unlikely that anyone would go to that much trouble.
Thanks...
