Larry,thanks or your comments. That's a very fine Heiser holster & the belt buckle is intriguing & unusual. Your pair of Colts are outstanding & the Boyt rugs are great as well. I run into a surprisingly large number of vintage holsters made for Colt Officers Models & Official Police revolvers.
Giz, your Calhoun City stamp & a similar Elberton, Ga. stamp are the standard Berns-Martin stamps; the Calhoun City stamp is the earlier one-roughly 1940's & '50's. The Evaluators stamp is a retailer's stamp-I find both Berns-Martin & Hieser made holsters with ther stamp, as well as some lesser quality holsters with the Evaluators "Quick Draw" or "FBI Quick Draw" stamps. Evaluators marked holsters have been of interest to me for some time-I pick them up when I find them, which isn't very often. Obviously, this is my kind of thread-keep 'em coming.
