$7 Well Spent at a Gun Show!
Up at 4am, out the door an hour later and arrived for set up just before 7am. One of the benefits of exhibiting at a gun show is early shopping.
This was my first find of the day. I didn't even ask for a better price! 
It was correctly marked, but it also perfectly fits a 629 Mountain Revolver!
I spotted this holster sometime around noon. Hunter holsters generally don't do much for me, but this one caught my eye. I didn't know what A 52S fit, but for $4 I couldn't pass it up.
I thought it might be for a small auto. I checked a 1968 Hunter fit chart when I got home and discovered that it's for 2" I or J frame. That'll work nicely for a mini BBQ rig!
As an added bonus, several forum members that I know exhibited at the show. We had a great time chatting and laughing and fondling guns. It doesn't get much better!

I don't think you got hurt too bad on those. I probably woulda given 10 bucks for the pair.

You got a couple of super great holsters there. I have the Kramer
exactly like yours. Got it right from Kramer years ago. I guarantee
it was a bit more than $3.
PS You probably know the Kramer is made of horsehide.
A little thinner, lighter, and wears like iron.

Both great buys. A Kramer like that would look great molded for my 2.5" Python. Maybe when my current one wears out.

Here's a photo of your Kramer's younger brother. They were separated
at birth.

Anymore in this neck of the woods, $7 well spent at a gun show
is a cup of coffee and a piece of pie.

There are still some real treasures to be found at gun shows and pawn shops.

Did you find any marking on the Kramer as to what it was for? I bought an identical one for $10.00 at a show and thought I did well. Mine fits N frames, usually with the 4" 629. I did not KNOW what it fit, but I figured I had something that would go in it!! The first Kramer purchased was 25+ years ago for Sigma 40F with matching dual mag pouch for $110.00. I still use it- have to love Horsehide and Kramer! Be Safe,

I know most are probably eyeing the Kramer but that's gotta be one of the nicest Hunter holsters I've ever seen. Never seen one with floral carving before.

I wish makers would mark them, but none of my Kramers are. They are pressure fitted so well, that it's often east to tell.

I have 3 MSP paddle holsters from Kramer and they are great for OWB carry of bigger guns.
