group of holsters that he acquired.
The back of the one with the double impression is shown in
turnerriver's #1 post at You Never Know What You Will Find.
The back of the one with no lettering on the back, that I have,
is shown in post #11 A LITTLE SEVENTREES.
The "stitch signature" appears to be about the same.
I agree that this holster does look kinda like Chic Gaylord's
Federal Speed Scabbard.
I don't have Chic's Federal Speed Scabbard, but I do have
the Gaylord Combat Speed Scabbard made by Lefty Lewis,
a close friend of Chic's, who dba Bell-Charter-Oak.
Seventrees on the Left, BCO on the Right front & back.

I really thought I had replied with a 'mea culpa' because I failed to notice that there were two of these :-). Yes indeed, Phil, yours has the Seventrees signature stitching.
Taking nothing away from what turnerriver has collected here, I can't shake the feeling that all of these had a little something wrong with each one. Comparing the backsides of this particular pair, the one you have isn't as pure to Seventrees as the other. Seventrees marks appear to have been put on last, to explain why the mark is 'burned' in rather than stamped in. So perhaps this one didn't 'make the grade' and was never marked. Notice that for a maker who used an exreme carry angle up to 60 degrees, yours is darn near zero.
