Tim I really like that carved and laced model 27. If this were a contest,
you would surely take the cake.

John, the carved black holster on the right with the white lacing
was made by Eubanks IIRC

Here's a Lawrence you may not have seen before. I suspect later vintage

George Lawrence 140 L S&W 22

Hey All,
I just got this George Lawrence and I’m trying to date it. Any ideas ?

Your holster was made after WW II and before 1963 or 4, Lawrence started using a 3 digit size code then. I’m guessing that your holster was made for a S&W model 41 or 46 .22 auto, that’s what the photo suggests. The old style football shaped logo on the belt was used before and after WW II on belts but only before the war on holsters.
Regards,

Catina Lyst, nice Lawrence rig! John, thanks for that information. At first look, I would have incorrectly assumed that the holster was added to an older belt, even though they looked like a matched set.

Hi and thanks for your replies !
I contacted the George Lawrence museum and the lady working there found a catalogue showing a version of it in 1959. But, I also found photos dating the advertisement of the Smith and Wesson on a George Lawrence dating back to 1868 which goes with the date that that specific S&W type was made. The museum person said it’s also possible but they haven’t scanned the hundreds of catalogues as yet. So I’m grateful for you all narrowing it down.
