Unmarked Beauty (Heiser?)

fireitup · Yesterday, 11:47 PM

Was at the local flea market this weekend and found a beautiful dark brown leather revolver holster. I cannot find a makers marking on it anywhere, although the brown snap says "Heiser Denver".

Leads me to believe that its a true Heiser, pattern looks good and fits the bill.

Since there is no makers marking, is it a replica? Any idea what guns may fit it? Any insight appreciated!

Thinking (hoping) that its real heiser leather, just missing a skirt or something where the mark was. Link below provides pics through my Flickr.

I don't doubt it COULD be. Late in the company's history maybe everything wasn't getting marked properly? There may have been a repair on the back side, that edge stitching looks rough to me.

But it looks 'right' otherwise. There are a LOT of these for sale on E-bay that look pretty much the same.

The carving and edge lacing looks genuine. It may be that it was special ordered for a particular revolver that Heiser didn't carry as a catalog item. So far as I know Heiser-branded snaps were never used by anyone else.

I think it's the real thing.

Thanks for the inputs. Now the fun part, finding a gun to fit it! Kinda reminds me of the Cinderella story haha
