Hi Ron:

This seems to be an answer to my inquiry. Thanks for the info. Yes, I got the holster but its a dud. Its of a type that is fleece lined and would seem to collect moisture BUT the seller said his graddad had kept it in that holster for 40 or 50 years. He said he kept it out of the holster for 20 years.

Thanks for the support.

Ron and all:

I'll describe the holster. It was made by Brauer Bros. Mfg. Co, St. Louis, Moose Brand. It is made of suede and vinyl leathers (not very impressive looking) and has fleece on the interior. Two shades of brown. It has a nice, big, belt loop and is well made. A model number or inventory stock number is stamped on the belt loop with the co. name. It is: AUDO 4 1/2. I suppose that indicates the size. I have the matching cartridge belt. Both are moderately used. The The 30 cal. ammo fits properly in the loops and also shows signs that someone utilized the belt with the gun for holding their ammo. I was ready to put the holster in the basement and forget it until yesterday. I saw one just like it on gunbroker.com. It was artillery size being sold for a nice (kind of high-I thought) price. Until that time I thought the holster I had just obtained (with my pistol as acquired) was a dime store item. Any enlightments would be appreciated.
