Back in '72, I had a similar Safariland holster for the Super Blackhawk I had then. Remember when Safariland came out with their "sight track" that ran down the front edge of the holster? Mine had it back then, and this one has it. The main difference is back then, mine had a hammer thong instead of the snap strap and it didn't have the little strap and buckle around the holster. But the holster shape and size are identical. This one's suede lined, just like my other one. I lucked out finding this one. I'll take things from the "Good Ol' Days" anytime I can find them.
