I found an ad for this old beauty in a May 1956 American
Rifleman magazine.
They called it COMBAT ACTION HOLSTER For Peace Officers,
Detectives, Sheriffs and Guards.
"This Hunter Spring belt combat holster is built for maximum
concealment, quick access, and is equally efficient for regular
or cross-draw work. Adjustable spring tension. Gun will not
fall out.
AVAILABLE IN BLACK OR BROWN
Flower Carved holster...$6.70
Plain holster.................$4.80
I should have bought a bunch of them, but I probably could
not afford it. $6.70 was a lot of money in 1956

You are absolutely right Phil. In this part of the world in 1956, $6.70 was a DAY'S Pay. Quite a commitment for pore folks.
