I found a near new viking ankle holster in a box at home, been there 20 years or more.
*Any idea what it is supposed to fit or a link to viking sizes?
I tried researching and came up with nothing. The mold in the leather appears to be a small auto? I tried a kimber solo and micro in it. They were both a little too big.

THE VIKING STORY
Enlarge page, look under name 'Luger', or further down under holster number.
Sure it's a number 87? It's showing a 12" Luger. ?????
All I could find, hope it helps.
Navy Luger
.22
12"
Here's a pic of it
Yep, thats 87.
Well now you gotta get a 12" Luger and give it a try.
The AMT Backup was originally manufactured by Ordnance Manufacturing Corporation (OMC). Maybe that’s what it if referencing. TDE I’m not sure of.
This looks most likely.
Ohh yes, that is it. I was looking at references and now it clicks. Got to be.
I was wondering if the TDE was an identifier although that 87 is confusing.
I tried a kahr 380 and it fit perfectly.
Thanks for the help and input
I found this regarding the changes in company names on Wikipedia:
"In 1970, Auto Mag Corporation president Harry Sanford opened a factory in Pasadena, California. The first pistol was shipped on August 8, 1971, and the factory declared bankruptcy on May 3, 1972, after making fewer than 3,000 pistols. The company opened and closed several times from 1973 through 1982 under several different names: TDE (Trade Deed Estates), OMC, Thomas Oil Company, High Standard, and AMT (Arcadia Machine & Tool)."
