Info requested on S&W Holster

[blackdeuce]

I got this holster with a 1972 vintage 19-3 that I just purchased. I searched the internet for the number on the holster and came up with nothing. It is stamped 14 54w and has the S&W logo.

Would this be a 1972 vintage holster? Is it anything special, or just a run-of-the-mill holster? What do the numbers mean?

Any help would be appreciated. I know absolutely nothing about holsters.

Nice holster. 14 denotes a High Ride model holster, 54 denotes a 4" Combat Magnum and the W denotes basketweave. It is a fairly scarce early '70s factory holster made for your 19-3.
