The SA was, of course, the weapon of choice for the Rangers. Prices are generally high-ish for Sessums though I've seen sales of other brands that are ten times those prices. Texas Ranger holsters were created in 1907 and likely couldn't have been made with the Brill name until 1914 or so, when August bought out his employer. The style was used until roughly 1950 though the Brills themselves (including Arno) had switched to real estate by the end of the War. Both are best known for being savvy businessmen, and Arno for being the father of Gov. John Connally's wife (she and the Gov were in the car when JFK was shot).
