I bought this little .25 auto holster at a show recently. I'm a sucker for .25 auto holsters-a belt holster with a safety strap for a .25 ? - and this is a pretty nice one.

Nice round logo, three letters that could be a B, F and I don't know what else.


Any thoughts ?
Thanks and regards,

I tried searching a combination of letters and, upon searching "BFS" holsters, found this which might be a possibility:

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find an example of his maker's mark.

If you look closely, the circle surrounding the letters, whatever they are, appears to be a rifled bore with lands and grooves, which might be a clue.

I think that I'm seeing a PLP or PLF.

I read PFC or PCF.

Looks like BCF to me.

Did you find out anything?

I think the letters are either "BCA" or "BCR".

I've found vague references to Back Country Ranger holsters, but no photographic examples and no text/historical notes on them. You follow links, and it's like going down the Internet Rabbit Hole.

Drawing a blank on "BCA", though.

It's a pretty little holster, but its problem is that it is so generic. You could probably name ten makers or more who made that exact same holster, not to mention all the home made ones.

Funny thing is, we don't know for sure that's a maker's mark, though it probably is. But it could just as easily be the owner's initials, couldn't it?

I'm still searching, but so far it's just one dead end after another.

I've found nothing so far although I appreciate all the input. I've found over the years that one often leads to another-someone here will run across another one and more information will result.
Thanks and regards,
