After brief but fierce bidding I won the little S. D. Myres floral carved
holster with "dog ear". Any time I can get an S. D. Myres floral carved
holster for under sixty bucks I consider it a win. If you have read
RENOWNED GUN LEATHER you know my strategy.
The seller just "thought" it was by S. D. Myres because the printing inside
the little box, just above the stitiching, had worn off. Fortunately I have
other S. D. Myres holsters, including the model #624 shown below, so
I was able to compare the stitching and carving. I am sure it is by S.D.
Myres.
The first photo on the left is the subject holster, shown for comparison
with the model #624. Second from left is the back of the same two
holsters.
Third photo from left is after I performed the rehap steps outlined above.
Fourth photo is the back after the cleanup.
5th photo from left is the holster with my little Charter Undercover.
Sorry, but my S&W J Frames have no hammers. The belt is the famous
thirty dollar belt.
I think I got it "kinda right". Maybe Red will let us know.
