New (to me) El Paso Saddlery holster
I recently obtained a vintage El Paso Saddlery Holster, so tell me what you think of it. I am trying to find out some information on it, without much luck, yet. I can't figure out what style carving it has. It may be the Frontier Floral carving. Is there such thing as a special order carving or maybe a style that is no longer used? It looks like their "Ranger" style holster to me. It has a hammer thong but it is tucked inside the holster in the pictures. Also, anyone have an idea when it was made? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures that I got from the previous owner:

You might email them a picture and get an accurate response. I have a shoulder holster rig they made for a Ruger Vaquero of mine some years ago and really like it. They were easy to do business with.

I own several of their holsters and think the work is pretty recent.

New (to me) El Paso Saddlery holster
I checked 1978,1988 & 1998 El Paso catalogs & all showed this model holster- the 1880 model- & all noted that floral carving is hand crafted &
consequently variable. The only other type of carving offered was
Frontier style which approximates the style usually seen on California
Slim Jim type holsters such as those made by Main & Winchester.

John, thanks for your reply. So you don't think it is the Frontier style carving , but instead, just the regular floral carving with some variations. Is this correct? Thanks, again.
