This probably deserves it's own thread as it's a very different subject matter.... however, it looks fine to me and is nothing like the reproduction holsters made in India 15 or so years ago. The quality of the webbing on those was quite shabby, the shape was off and the color was much more of a darker British hue. Oh, and the brass looks correct too which was also poorly done on the Indian examples. Unless there is a new breed of reproductions that I haven't seen yet...

Where did you see the discussion about this holster? I would be very curious to see what others are saying and why.
