From about 1976: Special order Safariland model 254 holsters with an extra wide 2 1/4 inch belt loop to better stabilize the holster on the narrow belt yet also able to be worn on a 2 1/4 in. Sam Brown belt with the dress blouse - as with the prior flap holster. Clarino.
(I'd want to forget the blouse too.)
I remember especially because I was wearing the 254 - a jacket-loop border-patrol style holster - with a local agency.
I saw some troopers "beta testing" other brands in the same pattern before the Safariland.
Later, I guess in the 459 era, a soft, formless Hume thumb snap in Clarino.
