1949 American Rifleman-Evaluators Ltd. & Colorado Saddlery

[turnerriver]

Our Canadian friend sent me this- apparently a list of exhibitors at the annual convention.
Evaluators Ltd. represented Heiser & Berns-Martin but refer to S.D. Myres here. I think they were trying to rep Myres but didn't end up getting anywhere, the photo below was included in a batch of Evaluators material I purchased some years ago. Phil Roettinger was a director and initial investor in the company.
I'm glad the S&W K-38 Service Masterpiece became the Combat Masterpiece.
Colorado Saddlery had recently started providing custom leather goods.

The case for the 17 is really neat.

Gee, I was a month old when that came out.

The case looks just like the one that came with my pre-27.

That's awesome- I love seeing old Evaluators Ltd stuff. A Van Orden Model 70 is one of my grail guns.
