Very Nice Pickup! What gun does it fit?

Larry, I’m not sure yet we are still heading home.
That's a lovely Myres floral carved Threeperson holster. I believe it's for a revolver with a 5-6" barrel.
See if a S&W K-frame fits.

5 inch N Frame. The k frame swims around in it.

Probably for a HD with the common 5 inch barrel. Or possibly a RM with a 5 inch.

Definitely for the 5" RM. (If you don't have one handy, now you have a legitimate, defensible need to buy one.)

Very nice holster!

Beautiful vintage holster. No idea as to date, somewhere between 1888 and 1969. pre dates the current El Paso Saddlery factory, and the business. Call El Paso Saddlery and someone there can give an idea of the date based on the stamp.

What I can see is that floral pattern is hand cut and stamped. It is a work of art, no doubt you can see three dimensionality to the pattern in person, but I can see how the artist stamped the lobes which should give a flower petal appearance.
I have a floral belt from El Paso Saddlery. I was told the leather artist who made it, was retired old man, worked from home, cut and stamped the leather while watching Mexican soap operas on TV! His granddad may have made cut and stamped your holster. Work of art.
I wish I had found that.

I read the Threepersons didn’t start showing in their catalog until 1925. I do believe it’s an early stamp.
And a fine book it is. A necessity for a serious collector, and a very nice, beautiful coffee table book for a dilettante like myself.
The mark on the OP’s holster…..
looks identical to the mark on the holsters used by the Kansas City PD for their 4” Registered and Non-Registered Magnums from 1939 until about 1957…..

The local GS has a model 610 N frame that fits in the holster. The cylinder and adjustable sight marks in the leather are visible. I wanted to make sure it was for a large frame adjustable sight revolver. Thanks for all the help and info!
