I, too have a Berns Martin holster, some say the fastest revolver holster ever, which is marked with the Evaluators' stamp. I was told at a VA gun show that they furnished items such as this for the FBI, and this holster certainly looks like it was used by someone to carry a typical 4" K-frame service revolver. It was just a skosh short for my M-66 (no dash) 4 1/8" revolver until I ruined the holster's originality by removing a little leather horseshoe shaped spacer in the bottom. OK, I admit I'm a Philistine, but it was almost current back then, and I needed that holster for that gun! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
