What kind of holster did Jack Webb use in the old Dragnet TV series?

Would a picture help, or do you already know? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Thanks, I knew what it looked like, I was trying to find out what kind it was so I would know what to search for. i have tried Dragnet holsters and such and can't find any references to the model. Any idea where I can get one like it?

I forgot the EXACT brand, but a number of makers built this type of holster.
It was usually a cross-draw, with an adjustable flat spring in the welt to provide friction to hold the gun in place.

Here's a link to just about every holster maker currently in business, I suspect some still offer this one:

I am not THAT old, but Clark-Bucheimer comes to mind. Also Friday carried a Detective Special, then went to a Cobra while on the series, I remember him weighing it to make sure it only weighed 15 oz. I do believe that the holster in question was of thre above make a spring cross draw type, I still have one in good shape that I use for car/aircraft carry-good access when one is seated.
