Neither version of the name appears in "Old Cowboy Saddles & Spurs", the reference text that includes (by my calculation ) 6400 saddlemakers. From this I deduce that this chap was not a saddle maker of the old school, who also made holsters; but from the new school of holster-makers only. The slanted style of marking is so similar to that of another Ft. Worth maker (who nevertheless used individual letters for his stamps, for some unknown reason, because stamps are cheap) that we know as O. Ball (Oliver Ball). He operated in the Fifties.

Yours is nicely hand-carved and I would have said Myres if I hadn't seen the backside, or even Lawrence. The external styling is very fluid and professional, as is the workmanship. A keeper IMO! It does everything the classic threepersons does despite the guard resting in a pocket vs on the end of the welt.
