Question Myres "Made In Mexico" Holster.

[Friendofbillw1]

Hello friends,
I am in hopes I posted this question in the correct forum. I picked up a K-38 Yesterday circa 1950 and the fella I bought it from threw this holster in saying it "Belonged with the K-38". My holster knowledge is limited. I know there was a Holster Maker in Texas with the last name "Myres" but his holsters were as I said, made in Texas. This holster as you can see is Stamped Myres, made in Mexico. Someone has signed it as well, "Bob Martin, Texas". I am wondering if anyone might have any information on the significance of this Signed name or the holster in general. From what little info I can find, it may have been made by the Elder Myres' son, Dale.

Thanks in Advance
Daniel

***Edit*** There seems to be a date scrolled on the inside flap 8-71

Despite being S.D. Myres Jr. Dale did not end up running the Myres Saddlery after Tio Sam’s death. He started a competing business selling holsters made for him in Mexico. That's a new mark to me, my Dale Myres holsters have a different stamp.

S.D. Myres holster on the left, Dale Myres Mexican made holster on the right.

Thank you, Tim- Dale Myres also offered a holster with a bore brush inside-the middle holster in the photo has a Chicago screw that holds a bore brush so that the end of the barrel fits down over it.
As the photo in my post that Tim shared shows, Dale Myres’ Mexican made holsters were not the equal of Tio Sam’s Texas made holsters.

John, the bore brush in the bottom of the holster seems like a pretty unique idea. Did the gun “find” the brush easily or did you have to be really careful when re-holstering?
