I snagged this holster of eBay last week, it was NIB and is as nice as I could hope for. I have wanted a Roy’s Pancake holster since about 1974 or 75 ?

Good things come to those that wait !

A beauty and NIB no less. A keeper for sure and period correct for the 39.

I'm a Roys pancake fan too.

Roy Baker the Pancake Maker. I had one but gave it away. Then I read
HOLSTORY and realized how important they are in holster history, so I
set out to find another one. I wanted one with the top open. No strap.

It took a while, but I finally found one. It is made for a Dick Special,
so of course it fits my Agent. I was a bit concerned when I realized it
is made for a 3" barrel and my Agent has a 2" barrel.

But my wise friend Red Nichols pointed out to me that with the cylinder
riding partly above the belt, it would tend to tip outward. But the extra
inch in length would tend to prevent that tipping a bit.

Here it is with my Agent on board. Those grips are by Craig Spegel.
