ID this holster?
Hi, All:
I have this nicely carved Holster that fits a S&W K Frame 4". It is unmarked, with the exception of the four letters written across the belt loop, SEAR. It is made of heavy well made leather. It looks old, but does not seem to have had a revolver carried in it. One can picture a lady in the theme of the carving
if looking closely. I would like to get an educated opinion on who the maker was. Can you experts help? Thanks.

Nice holster. In the 1940's there was a holster maker, Sears Saddlery, who marked their holsters with "SEARS" on the back of the holster; no date or other ID. They also made a lot of holsters for military use. Could there be a faint "S" after SEAR?

When you post a rear view, the "signature" shape of the belt loop often gives us collectors a major clue as to its maker. If you would?

Rear
Hi, Red:
Here is a picture of the rear of the holster mentioned. The faint letters can be seen written across the back. Thanks

There does not seem to be an S at the end of the faint line of letters scribed on the back of this holster, but? Thanks for the help.
