This S&W 38/44 Heavy Duty 5" from 1931 looks great in this old Carved S. D. MYRES Holster. The strap was replaced by a Heiser Denver one some time in its life.

Jim;

In looking at the pictures that you posted of your 1931 S&W 38/44 Heavy Duty, and S. D. Myres holster, it occurred to me that my 1930 S&W 38/44 Heavy Duty, is very similar to yours. I don't know how close their shipping dates were, but the must have been close. my HD's shipping date was 4/26/1930. It's ser.# is 3529x. you mentioned that the S. D. MYRES holster, shown with your HD, had the strap replaced at some time with a Heiser Denver strap. There are other possible sources of the replacement strap, as I have holsters by Hunter, and Colorado Saddlery, that have identical snaps, and straps. I thought that might interest you. Here are Pictures of mine. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Chubbo,
My ship date was 8/1931 and serial 3877X. Just a year and 4 months newer than yours.
