HH Heiser
Numbered 457 and marked over top of the in pencil (?) Gew . Any ideas what that would be ? Mauser 1914 maybe?
Was listed as a 2" J frame but I didn't think that was right .

Looks like one I have that fits 4” K frame. That’s my guess.

My first thought was the same as Tim's. A 4" M&P K Frame.
But then where yours measure about 7 & 1/4" my 4" K Frame,
model 757, shown below, measures 8".
However the HHH with no model number, but looks exactly
like my 457, measures the same as yours. And it fits
the 4" K Frame Model 10 perfectly. 2nd right below.
So, once again, Tim is correct. It should fit a K Frame
with 4" barrel.

Width of mine at the mouth is a little over 2 & 3/4" but not up to 3".
What model is your 4" K frame. If it has adjustable rear sight it would
make a difference. I'm using a 4" K frame model 10 which has fixed
rear sight.

Not mine , I don't own a 4" , I tried one at the local pawn shop today . Just guessing but probably was a 60's - 70's m10 .

If guilt sets in because you don't have a revolver for it, you can send it this way. I have a nekkid 3" heavy barrel Mod 64 shivering in the cold.

As others have indicated a Model 10 M&P will fit . . . but it needs to be the tapered barrel version . . . perhaps the pawn show example was a heavy barrel which won't fit.

I'm thinkin' I might've seen Heiser 457's for 3-1/2" Model 27's too. Pretty sure the 457 was only made for revolvers.

My guess at the number of gumdrops in the jar is: that the pencil mark says COLT (Heiser's are commonly size-marked by hand in pencil or pen) and is for a PP. But only because you're saying the K frame doesn't fit, to it's the next logical step down. A J would be even smaller. Otherwise it looks quite like a common K frame 457.

And if the guilt hits you for having that poor ol' mod 64 shivering in the cold you can always donate it to the cause ! Cause it's warmer in the South , Cause apparently I may have some warm clothes for it , Cause I don't have a 3" mod 64 , and last but not Least, Cause you are just such a warm and generous guy !! All donations accepted Rusty .

Guess I'll keep trying the short K frames till I find one that fits . I guess the Gew over the 457 is just another set of initials . Did they make this holster for a 2" J frame ? Thanks Guy's .

Well, they did but that doesn't help you any:

You know it's not barrel length, but frame size, that you're dealing with whilst struggling for a fitment.
I have/had a Colorado Saddlery version of the 457, clearly marked M&P, and after forcing my M&P into it, darned near didn't get it back out again! I had visions of having to cut the welt stitching apart. These holsters were made tight in the first place, got tighter with age.

I still think your holster is for the 4" barreled Model 10 or M&P.
If it were mine I would work with it a bit and get it to fit.
But, if you don't have a M&P or Model 10 you will just have to
go out and find one. That holster needs an occupant.

Yep. Here's a link with a pic of a 757 for a 2" J frame. The 757 is basically a 457 with floral carving. The same holster with basket weave would be a 557.
