That actually fits. These were not "new" 1979-vintage holsters; they simply had a bunch of them in boxes at the uniform division. The department used these at least as far back as the early 1950s. Colorado State Patrol used a nearly-identical holster around the same time.
Red, do you have any photos or pdfs of those catalogs? Thanks!
