Thanks everyone. It has been interesting learning about the holster and a little more about Evaluators Limited.

You know one of the fun parts about collecting is the wondering where and why of some guns. Here we have a near new Model 19 with a new holster. These were working man's tools from a dealer that sold to working men and woman. Yet, this piece never saw one day of work in its 50 or so years of life.

Why, why was it put away? What happened, what's its story. Was it a graduation gift and the owner couldn't bare to use it. Did something happen to the original owner and they never had a chance to use this fine old revolver. Who ever put it away still lovingly cared for this fine revolver. Even guns sitting in the box if neglected show the years of neglect. They make me wonder as I hold them.

It is kind of to bad these fine old guns can't talk.

Again thank you all for the information.
