4+ (Very Good): Holster is very displayable, but stitching has let go, and leather, although supple, is dry with a good deal of surface scuffing. there are some light cracks in the leather at the top of the flap, but nothing deep or detrimental. Again, still a very displayable piece.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
