    M3 Holster.....Real or fake?????

    I seriously looking at a M3 holster on Ebay. It really looks "to good to be true".
    I appears to be unissued. I'm planning to bid on it tonight If its real. Wouldn't a 60 year old holster start to turn brown after so many years out in the air??? It dose show some virta gree(sp?) on the snaps. I really need some help here with this one.....

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    M3

    It looks good to me. It has all the characteristics I look for in a M3 and none of the tell-tale signs of a fake. I have a moderate collection of M3s and have learned about them by trial and error. While mint holsters like that one are rare, I have a couple that are nearly that nice.
