I'm guessing that is a model 3100 size 29 made for M&P (Model 10) with
2" barrel?
I've been collecting the 3100 (carved) and so far have 5 sizes that I have
guns for.
Some think they are embossed, but I did the research and know that they
are actually hand carved. They called them leather engravers back in the
days when the 3100s were made.
The Hunter fit chart does not show 3100, but they are the same sizes
as the 1100s. 1100 is plain. 2100 is basket weave, and 3100 of course
is carved.
Great little holster you have there.

Just got a Hunter mfg'd holster for my SAA. VERY impressed with the quality of these Denver, Colorado made holsters....especially for the price. I feel like i owe them money.

Not a matching belt, but I do have a El Paso Saddlery floral carved belt.

To the OP that's a nice one.
Here's a Hunter I grab out of a box of old holsters at a gun show. Definitely carved and not embossed. I'm not sure what gun it was made for but seems to work good with the Combat Commander.

Hunter called that a Combat Action Holster.
Here on the left, is an old magazine ad from way back when.
On the right is my 55L. I too tried several guns, most fit OK,
but my Model 29 fits the best.

Elk antler I do believe. I bought them at a local gun show from a guy that makes them and he is a member here but I don't see him post any.
The side you see in that picture is the one that got my attention, unusual looking.
Here is both sides and the name of the company on the back.
OK why are the pictures turning side ways?

I did not realize that Hunter holsters were carved or basket weave. The only ones I have seen thru the years are plain. I have two that date at least to the 80's, both plain.

To me they are the best value for a vintage carved or basket weave holster.

I have shown this Hunter 3100 before. A holster to fit this Old Model Ruger Single Six with the 9.5" barrel took a while to find. It was very moderately priced and is a perfect match.

Without lining, is your Hunter relatively smooth inside? The bluing on my Single Six is pristine, and I might lean toward a lined holster.
