S&W Shoulder/Chest Rig

I'm getting ready to sell this vintage shoulder/chest rig. Only problem: I don't know EXACTLY which revolver it fits but I'm close. Numbers say 43 26. I got the 6" part but I'm stuck on the rest. I THINK it's for a K frame. Please help

The "2" in 26 designates N frame and the "6" is the barrel length.
K frame is a 3 and J frame is a 6.
43 is the holster model.

Thanks. Now I can sell it. Do you have ANY idea of value?

I've been asking $20 for a 43 36 that the leather does not show as much wear as yours.....I still have the holster, but there might be more of a demand for an N frame holster.
I'm thinking in the range of $20 - $30.

KO, you are spot on. In the last year I purchased two minty holsters like these. One K and one N. $25 for one, $35 for the other. Right after I got mine, someone here on the forum sold a true "mint in box" N frame for $40. It came in a two piece blue box, properly labeled for the holster. I didn't know they came in two piece blue boxes.
