Post What can you tell me about this Heiser

This holster was in my big box and I can't find anything in my collection that it will fit. I can not find a chart for the Heisers to identify it. Anyone know what it might fit. Top to bottom it is about 10-1/2 inches long. It needs some work on the snaps and a good cleaning.

Hi nuguy. The first number (7) tells us the finish, which is carved. That's
easy to see. Second number (2) is for action type. In this case a semi
automatic. I don't know what the 1 means. My guess for the 6W is
a Colt's Woodsman with 6" barrel. There are a lot smarter Gurus on here
than I, so you will probably have a definate answer soon.
P. S. The missing snap is a problem. Very hard to find. Someone maybe
wanted it for another Heiser?

My guess is the penned "W6" stands for 6" Colt Woodsman.
