For the Enfield tanker revolver.

I've never seen a holster for one! Are photos possible?!?

I believe hotel71b is referring to the Enfield No.2 Mark 1* revolver. It is the double action, spurless hammer version of the revolver mistakenly believed to be a model made for the Tank Corps of the British Army.

Just so we're all on the same exact subject, is not the revolver in question one of these?:
Option #1
Or is it one of these?:
Option #2

I'd assume the 2" barrel was a post-service commercial modification. I've had a quick skim through my copies of the Skennerton books on the No.2 revolver and WWII British small arms contracts and can't find any mentions of No.2's with shortened barrels.
Happy to be corrected, etc.
Cheers,
