This Victory was given to me by a friend;it was
his father's.My friend had bulged the barrel
& his father had a new model 10 barrel put
on by the factory in the 1970's. Ordnanceguy
had a Victory barrel so it's back to looking
like it should.This holster was made by Heiser
& sold by Evaluators Ltd.;this style was submitted
to a Navy field trial in the 1950's along with a number
of S&W & Colt revolvers & other holsters-they were
looking for a new pilot's sidearm & holster.The
little pouch was designed to hold an oiler,
not extra cartridges.
The second photo is a post WW II
Heiser contract Victory holster with the
same Victory.
