Check the vintage holster numbers charts on S&W websites or forums, think the numbers relate to the model # and as you pointed out the LH just means left handed. Not sure that's a serial number just model numbers compatible with the holster itself. :dono

Thanks snubby
I still haven't found nothing even close to it prolly isn't worth anything just wondering how old it is thanks for your input
I typed in old police 38 LH S&W holster and found this picture. Police used 38's revolvers back in the old days.These were probably made just for the police dept. Later highway patrols started using 38 special revolvers. Now they use auto's mostly.

That's kewl thanks scrat! I gave 50 cents for it I'm pretty sure it's worth that anyway
38 or 357 4 inch barrel. Looks to be 60’s or 70’s model holster. Police and or security. Late 70’s to 80’s the holsters were mainly thumb break. 80’s up were different levels of retention thumbbreak on both revolvers and semi-auto.
You already got the answer I was going to give the pivot for the gun to move while in the sitting position where is the giveaway for me. Good find for the money.
Thank you skeet for your input I figure when my grandsons are my age it will be worth a few bucks
Looks like Barneys holster lol

Now you need a model 10 to put in it. That's what would have ridden in it, in the day. I have a model 13 which is the 357 verson of the 10.
