Mika Translator Needed!
I picked up this Mika pocket holster used (I'm at least the 3rd owner) and for the life of me can't make out his handwriting. I think he should have been a Doctor, instead of a cop/holster maker!
It fits a late production Detective Special really well, but I don't think that's what it says? What looks like an "RC" is on another holster he made for me and it also has a round bottom. Does that stand for round cut? My other Mika's are black, but this one is brown.
I could always send an email to Bob with the photo, but I'd rather not bother him. Any guesses????

Haha, I can barely translate the ones I buy from him - because I know what he writes on there. You on the other hand, may have to call him!

It kind of looks like " Hugs and kisses. Love always"
Sorry, I can't make out one word of it.

Mikas trademark per say
Mika personalizes the holster with the persons name who originally ordered the holster and then he signs the holster...

Yes he does, but that's on the opposite interior side and I can make that out!

Something RC (round cut) D-frame (that would be the DS you say fits well)?

Thanks Tom!
You're seeing "D-frame" and I was thinking that said "chestnut"!
The "something" looks like "LMK2" to me, but L could be a C or a U or a V... or not!
I didn't want to bother Bob, but I sent him a message this morning and linked to this thread. I'll update if he has time to get back to me.

Actually, it looks like "Dry frame" to me but that makes no sense, so I went with D-frame.
Now that you mention chestnut, however, that could be it, the color of the holster.

I heard back from Robert Mika.
Quote:
Glad I use to type my police reports. It looks like a holster for the Detective special. The printing, rc means round cut.
Other than that probably need a handwriting expert. Is the holster working for you?

Even he can’t read his handwriting!!!
