Default Old Hunter Buscadero-style gunbelts and holsters

I am trying to sell a pair of old western-style gunbelts with holsters for an elderly friend. Leather is marked Hunter inside a powderhorn, which I assume is the old Hy Hunter company located in Los Angeles. One is brown, one is black. The brown holster is stamped "1" on the back, the other (black) holster is very similar but slightly longer, and is stamped "2" on the back. Cartridge loops on both are for .22s. I am guessing these were intended for something like the old Ruger Single Six .22 revolver as they are western style. Any idea what guns "1" and "2" size holsters were intended for so I can put it in the ad?

They are Hunter brand holsters, made in Colorado and not connected to the Hy Hunter Co. They sound like model 1060 or 1070 fast draw holsters. A 1962 catalog says size code F-1 fits Colt .22 Frontier Scout single action revolvers with a 4 3/4" barrel, it will also fit the Ruger Single Six revolvers, at least according to the size chart. F-2 fits Colt SAA revolvers with 4 3/4 or 5 1/2" barrels.
If they have a different model number let me know although your description of the holsters and sizes sound consistent with the catalog information I found.
Regards,

There is no other stamped model number on anything, other than the "Hunter" inside a powder horn insignia and the "1" and "2" stamped on the back sides of the holsters respectively. I believe these two may pre-date 1962. As I said, both holsters appear identical except for color and also that the black holster is maybe an inch or so longer. I doubt a SAA would fit in either holster, probably intended for some .22 revolver as the loops on both belts are for .22s.
