Hey, Red. I didn't notice when I checked "Packing Iron" to look at the Kingsville Lumber Co. holster that it also has the lined (only) fender like Brills have. But did now with you posting a picture of it. The two big clues that Hamer's holster might be related to this one was the extra wide fender, especially where it goes over the belt, and that the rear cuff attaches where it's visible from the outside. Only the KLC used rivets instead of stitching. The external attaching of the cuff in the rear would be easier to make a tight fit around the holster I would think when assembling it.
I always liked that KLC holster but felt the fingers might catch on that wide fender behind the grips when drawing the gun. A potential problem the Brill avoided. But apparently not an issue for Frank Hamer.
Great Brill holster forensics on here by Red, crazyphil, bmcgilvray, John W., etc...
