Is the material to protect the end of the gun foam or a white fabric material?

There shouldn't be a stamp "Made in Canada". I've seen lots back before they were worth serious money. Those still reside in collections, I'm pretty sure it's a copy. We have examples here in this forum member's collections too... Don't be paying more than the price of the pistol.

Yes, the one your interested in looks legit from a materials and finish point of view.
The wood insert is a biscuit, used to reinforce against cracks. Nobody making a knock off is going to go through the trouble of milling the cut for a biscuit IMO.
$1400?? I don't blame ya for wanting to be sure,,,,

At the Calgary Gun Show a couple years back, there were a number of Chinese nationals going around spending serious money on various collectables(mostly Nazi) and we expect they were going back to Mainland China for re-production...watch and shoot on this...
Problem with this little stamp we're talking about is...in a few years there'll be scads around and people will believe they're the goods...

I appreciate all the inputs! The concensus from my web research is that the "made in canada" stamp was required when they were imported into the states. This is an import mark and would definately affect the collectability of an original holster.

Maybe I'm being stupid here but wouldn't they (Government body) want to see a genuine country of manufacture i.e. China for the fakes and not Canada where the Chinese would like you to believe there from. Or are you saying the originals imported need to have 'Made in Canada' marked on them?
