Default Viking No. 64

I was surprised that Viking made something such as this. Shows 1905 4th model for fit. The only thing I would change are the belt loops, it should have a wide one rather than 2 of the narrow ones.

Very nice.

I have a few Viking holsters that are "muy bueno".

The two narrow belt loops allow the pants belt loop to fit in between, thus locking the holster in a fixed position and eliminating it moving on the belt.

turnerriver posted a Viking size selector chart on here a while back.
If interested, just use the SEARCH function. It's easy to find.
Viking made some beautiful carved holsters back in their old days.
Like yours!

Well, I tried the SEARCH function, and you were right. It was easy to find the function, but I couldn't find the chart. I remember it being posted, and now I picked up a Viking #68, LH brown basket weave, six inch and don't know which pistol to buy to fit in it, and I'm not even left handed. Wouldn't it be nice to get a Sticky of these charts when posted so we can easily use them when needed.

Thank you, crazyphil. The "Viking Story" was the key phrase. A #68 is for the Colt frontier style of revolver.
