Here's an unmarked holster I picked up last weekend.

Here is a Fred Mueller Model 449:

I don't KNOW this as fact but do have the understanding that Mueller's gunleather was made by Heiser. Both companies are side by side in the Denver city directories briefly in the 50s then Heiser disappears from them leaving Mueller and Colorado Saddlery still there. A glance at Mueller's catalogues then suggests they were a wholesaler of saddlery items rather than making all their own products

This was quite beautiful when I got it - nearly new! That was 4 decades ago and it now shows some wear...

Still Beautiful!

I only have one purty holster, carved & lined that I bought from forum
member. I have a lot of same holsters pictured only I bought a mine
plain, natural leather tan. My holsters get drug though thickets and the
carved models would be ruined. Same reason I buy natural leather. When
they get scratched up you can just rub them out with neatsfoot. They
still look like they been in a sword fight but that only gives them some
character. I always trade off carved, basket weave or died leather.

Forgot I still had this Lawrence rig. Unfortunately, it's wrong handed.

Beautiful holster and belt! But one-point of correction, it is definitely RIGHT handed!

It is RIGHT for walkinghorse. So he must be left handed.

Hope it's not unfair to post again ... especially because the subject matter is not an S&W, but I just got a new hosting site and am finally able to upload pictures again ...

Just to keep it legal I'll add an S&W, the ivory handles didn't photo very well ...

 

[Chubbo]

Info. ?

Com'on 153, You tantalize us, and then don't give us the info. Please share the names of the guns, and the makers, of those snazzy holsters. Thanks.

Easy choice

Only having one my choice was easy.
If I had more it would still be easy as this came from a friend.

Paul;
It's easy to see why your choice is easy to make. Although you make no mention of the holster maker, or the beautifully engraved S&W revolver, I'd guess, that the holster maker is the one that made one that I have. It's a lot like yours, in design, color and finish. I rescued this one from a scrap holster barrel In a gun store, it needed a lot of fix'in. Yours is the only other one, looking near like mine, that I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing with us. Here's a picture, of mine. I'll let you judge.
