There are many styles of carving, but the most common that we
see on holster are the Mexican style and the Sheridan style.
The photo on the left below shows a carved Lawrence on the
left, a Heiser in the center and a Myres on the right. Lawrence
is often mentioned as the best example of Sheridan carving,
while Heiser and Myres both used the Mexican style.
The photo in the center is my Myres Threeperson's style #614.
The flower that is typically used on Mexican carving is the
California poppy.
The photo at far right is a Hunter model 3100. I have been told
that the flower used on Sheridan style carvings is the five petal
wild rose. I have 8 Hunter carved models 3100 and they all
depict 5 petal flowers like the one shown.
My question, therefore is the Hunters Sheridan style carving?
