The carving pattern is not by Sessums, whose holsters were made by a man named Rogers (Bedell Rogers' father):

It's the carving pattern of Kluge, who made A.W. Brill's holsters beginning 1912. This one is known to be made for a Texas Ranger who served 1916-17, R.C. Vaughn:

The Brill carving pattern changed substantially beginning 1932 when Rabensburg became A.W. Brill's maker:
