Default Vintage Holsters for 6.5" K-Frames?

I've got a Model of 1902 First Change with a 6.5" barrel and finding a proper holster for it has been a difficult task the past few years. Did any of the old famous makers even produce holsters for this oddball barrel length? If you have one, please show and tell.

Hi:
In my long ago era, I don't recall holsters for odd barrel lengths unless the holsters were custom made.
Manufacturers such as Buchemer and Hunter Holsters were four, and six inch.
I had a S&W Model 1950 Military .45 acp with a 5.5" barrel that I wanted to carry for a service revolver. I had to settle for a holster for a six inch barrel.
You might consider contacting "[email protected]"or "El Paso Leather" for a "Tom Threeperson" style holster.
Jimmy

Yes, I may end up having to go the custom route but I'd like to find something period-correct if possible.

I've looked at a BUNCH and I've never seen one,but then I ain't seen 'em all. Quite a few for N-frames,but no K's. Good luck!
