Fabulous grips, Linda! Thanks for showing that Myres jockstrap holster too. It is one of the nicest I have ever seen and always makes me weak in the knees when I see it!!

That Myres is my favorite…. I found it at a local gun show a few years ago.. really didn't care if I had anything that would fit it - just looked too good not to buy. Turns out it only fits one of my guns - a 1940 NRM

The fellow that was selling it also had a cane gun… got that too.

These are all stag except for the top left which I think is "jigged bone".

A couple of old knives. I remember when I was a kid making my mom stop at the Hoffritz store in Dadeland Mall so I could look at the knife display.

I also remember looking in the Hoffritz store.. not Dadeland but Westland Mall.

They make a perfect pair! Does the holster have just "El Paso" or "Tex" too in the makers mark?

Here's a close up… does the location give a hint of when it was made?

Only set I have - Eagle Grips. Bought used last year for $100 at LaRocca Gun Works Worcester MA - awesome gunsmith and nice little store. I also have two sets of Elk one by BigMtnMan and the other by Grasshorn.

Supposedly, those that have El Paso, Tex. are older than the ones that just say El Paso, but I don't know what year or date divides them. Some think maybe 1953, but I think Turnerriver has both stamps on holsters he thinks are from the same time period. Maybe he will see this.

I swear that holster looks brand new!

Here's a stag handled "Puma".

Also, flip side photo of the Myres holster.

Generally the stamp with TEX. was used on older Myres holsters but as this shows, both stamps were used at the same time. Your holster was in the Myres catalogs for decades so it's hard to date them.

Thanks, John

You posted just as I was posting a pic of the backside…. didn't know if it would help date it. It would be great if the year of manufacture was close to the gun (1940).

I don't think the backside will help with that holster, like it does with most, but I still say that gem is brand new. The backside confirms it.
