I recently got this holster. It appears to be a very high quality and wet molded holster for a 6 inch S&W N Frame. The holster is made by Shado and is marked "Shado made in South Africa" and then "6 inch N frame". There is no mention of this holster in any current catalog. I did a little research and I think it's from the late 1970's, early 1980's and made from cape buffalo hide. It looks like it's made for a full lug gun.
My question is that it has a sliding adjustable groove on rear made for a female snap to adjust for holster hammer tension. The female snap is missing. I emailed the current Shado holster company, but no answer yet.
What would be a cost effective way to fix this holster? It is one of the most quality N frame holsters I have seen, so I'd like to have it fixed if possible.
I have $35 in it as it sits.
