Another I.D. question

[Igiveup]

I received a Viking, basket weave holster, #61. Very nice condition, but do not know which gun goes with it. Anyone have a Viking chart of sizes, or know what fits into this holster. I'm thinking I might have to buy a new revolver to fit into it.

My little Viking chart shows size 61 will fit several revolvers:
Model 30 .32 caliber Hand Ejector with 4" barrel
Model 31 .32 caliber Regulation Police 3" barrel
Model 31 .32 caliber Regulation Police 4" barrel
Model 33 .38 caliber Regulation Police 4" barrel
Model 36 and Model 37 Chief with 3" barrel

I believe the model 36 and 37 would be a J Frame,
but all the others are probably I Frames.

Correction: Model 33 .38 caliber Regulation Police with 4" barrel
started out as an I Frame, but after a few years it was changed to
a J Frame. The I Frame specified the .38 S&W, but I believe
changing to J frame allowed the .38 Special round. No guarantee.

As usual Phil is right as rain. Here’s the page in the Liberty Viking catalog that lists size code 61.

Ask and you shall receive. Thank you for the information. I will have to get it copied for my files. As luck would have it, I just recently gave daughter the 3" M36, so I either have to buy another revolver to fit the holster, which, to me, is the most logical, or give the holster to my daughter. Decisions, decisions. Thanks again.
