Original S&W holster w/floral tooling?

[stonehorses]

I bought this holster recently and haven't seen any like it. Does anyone have any info on it? The item# is B04 35 C. Any help is appreciated.

Don't know too much on the history of s&w's holsters, but that one looks great! I bet a nickel gun would look great in it, nice find and enjoy!

I believe that it is for a 5" M&P .

Black=B Style 04 size 35 3=M&P 5=Barrel C =carved

Here is one for a 4" N frame

I am sure someone will come along with the complete photo listing of them,

Jim - Where does one find more information on the codes you have provided?

pred - Thank you for sharing your pics. I really need the 4" instead of the 5".

The holster also fits a Colt Official Police 5". Holsters of that era were not particularly tight fitting and most will fit a couple different guns.

As far as getting the codes, I have a couple old leather brochures that I picked up off FleaBay. They were cheap and come in handy now and then. Someone had scanned a fit chart and posted it here but I haven't seen it since the move. I don't know if it's still here or not.

I have that code chart in my bookmarks
but when I bring it up it comes to the new
forum. I will try to find out who posted it.

Great looking holsters, and look at the quality built in
them. Wish companies could operate today as they did
30 or 40 yrs. ago. What a dream [BETTER WAKE UP]

I am also interested in original Smith holsters.
Does anyone have a link to the Smith code chart?

That is a sharp looking holster. I haven't seen one of the carved ones before. Thanks for sharing. Chop

I have one set of S&W holster charts saved in Word files;they are too large to download to this site.I'll see if I can make some jpg. files this weekend & post them.They were on the old site-I'll try to work up a set for the new site.There were some changes in the size identifiers over the years but for the most part they were fairly constant.Here's 2 photos of 2 holsters-one marked Colt,the other S&W.S&W bought the Wolfram Co. during the Bangor Punta years;prior to that Wolfram made Colt holsters.
