I see a $6.98 listed on the ad. Boy how times have changed. Not that I'm even thinking of selling but curious as to the value of this now. Was this model common? Thanks for all your work.

I recall seeing only two of the Federal Man holsters in use in about 1970. For my first formal firearms class - with FBI instructors over the original 60 yard PPC - the chief loaned me his brand new Mdl 19 and Federal Man holster. One captain wore a Federal Man with his 2 inch Colt DS.

In our area, thumb break holsters of any make were rare until the mid 70's, and then Safariland ruled.
