Congratulations on a good buy.
The holster looks closer to the old S&W holsters made in the late 70's to the 80's or so. BUT, if it has no markings it may not be. It does not look like a Hunter, Brauer, or Viking either.
It could be a Brauer though if they, at one time, did not mark them.
To me it looks like a "home-grown" version of the above makes with carving done on replication of the style found on the old, old (1860's to 1870's) "incise carving" whereby the carving is done with a knife.
Back in the 1970's holsters like yours could be found to have been fabricated in local leather shops across the U.S. border in Mexico. They usually had inferior thread used in them though.
All of what you have is a very nice gun and rig!
