Default Old Holster....

Picked up this unmarked holster today.
It was in the misc. bin of a little gun shop.

Very nice find! Good example of workmanship. Design says to me that it is probably 1950's or 1960's. Lots of makers that style during that time period.

Because the crossdraw carry angle was fairly uncommon in what is called the Mexican Loop style, I find yours reminiscent of Wyeth. If so, even without a maker's mark it will have large, individual number stamps on its backside that always (don't know why) read '952'.

That the edge pattern is rolled on makes it the product of a saddlery, which used these rollers for very large pieces like saddle fenders and skirts; but holster makers generally did not have such tooling.

A Wyeth in its classic style:

They are often found without the Wyeth name on them, as 'hardware store' holsters.
