Here we have a spectacular double loop holster from V L & A Chicago
a very high end sporting goods dealer in Chicago in the first half
of the 20th century until 1938 when they were purchased
by Abercrombie & Fitch. This Double Loop Holster is in great
condition showing minimal signs of normal wear other then slight
discoloration of the leather on the front of the holster. The V L &
A Company contracted the making of the leather to companies like H.
H. Heiser or the George Lawrence Company and others which I cannot
identify which by the numbers beneath the toe of this holster. The
holster predates the 1938 sale of V L & A to Abercrombie & Fitch
based the makers mark on the front of the holster. The beautiful
old holster is made for a large caliber revolver with up to a 5”
barrel length for the right hand shooter
