Show 'em if you got 'em - Myres Leather Products

[boykinlp]

This section is slowing a little bit, so I thought I would jump start it with some "Big 3" pictures. Post any Myres Leather Holsters, Belts, Sheaths, Ammo Slides, Gun Rugs, etc. You know we all like pictures!

I will start it with one of my favorites. It is a an Uncataloged Myres Ranger Threeperson's Style holster that fits a Colt SAA with 5 1/2" barrel.

Just have this one left now, for my KCPD REG 5008…..

The silver wrapped Myres now belongs to another S&WCA member. The others are still with me.

Great idea Larry.

Terry, that is a great find and obviously a perfect match for your Registered Magnum. Did it come with the gun, or did you find the needle (a KCPD stamped holster) in the haystack?

Tim, I knew you wouldn't disappoint. I don't think I have ever seen the silver wrapped, gold and ruby embellished Myres that formerly was yours. What is the story that goes with it? Are the rubies real? I would love to have been able to see how it was wrapped!

The silver was attached with very small "wood" screws. Sterling silver, 10 karat escutcheons with real rubies. An engraved 3.5" barrel 357 Magnum was in the holster. The grips were Ed Bohlin and are sterling with 14 karat steer head. The revolver shipped to Joplin, MO in the mid-fifties. All embellishments were done later. No idea who commissioned the work.

Holy mackerel, that might be the BBQ gun of all time.

Larry, a couple of fellow Forum members made my acquisition of the KCPD holster possible. As I recall it, turnerriver saw the holster listed on eBay. He notified Toyman of the listing, and Toyman notified me. I took it from there. I have only seen one other KCPD marked holster like it, and it was accompanying another KCPD Reg Mag for sale on GunAuction.com several years ago. The holster fits the 4" KCPD Reg Mag perfectly. The KCPD purchased 473 of the 4" RM's and NRM's so there must be more of the holsters around somewhere.

Don't have but one photgraphed. Can't find any other Myres photographs.

S.D. Myres

A couple that were handy, including a rather rare rough-out for a SAA.

 

[Onomea]

Plain Jane, but a nice match for a mid '60s M10:

Lee, both of those are really nice. I don't think I have ever even heard of a "rough-out" holster from Myres much less seen one. In fact, while looking through some Myres catalogs over the years, I don't remember seeing it offered as an option. That is cool. I guess it wouldn't show small scratches and the like like the regular holsters do. At least, you could just brush them out to make them disappear. Thanks for sharing.

A basket stamp Myres for 3.5" N frame. I rarely see a Myres not floral carved.

 

[turnerriver]

3 Myres IWB holsters, 2 of them carved despite being made to tuck behind your belt.

VERY rare, I've not ever seen another quite like it. I suspect it is from the latter part of Myres' existence in the late '70s. I see what are surely your auctions with that background and coloration from time to time.

Agreed about the revolver . I've seen one other Myres so-decorated, that was Jelly Bryce's. 1961:





The 'on the cover' states correctly that the holster was reversed on the magazine itself; I reversed it again for my first image.

 

[boykinlp]

I really like this holster. It is a SD Myres Model 640 Holster with optional full lacing. It is a calf lined SD Myres fully floral carved, double-loop edge laced holster with a dyed background, and safety strap. Even the safety strap is laced. It is made for a Colt Detective Special with a 2 inch barrel, and looks like previous owners may have slipped a gun in it a very few times.

Red,
Yes, we have conversed in the past.

Here is one for a 6 1/2", N frame.

I got this belt/holster combo sometime back from Turnerriver. It's not my usual style at all but the jockstrap holster and the carving just made it irresistible. Also, it goes well with the engraved Colt with one piece ivory. Kinda over the top but it makes for interesting conversation.

Myres 4" N frame. I have the matching belt, but it is for 2 guns and has an attached 1911 magazine holder. Go figure.

Myres pigskin holster.

I looked for a Myres sheath for a long time before finding this one.

Bruce, those dog-eared holsters are awesome. That is another style holster that I have yet to acquire. Hopefully one day. Looks like Doc did a great job on the welt repair.

Thanks for the sheath pictures, John. It's kinda funny that you posted one in this thread. In my description of what I was hoping to see in my first post, I did ask for knife sheaths. But in all actuality, I did the first post for the Heiser stuff, then copy and pasted for the other 2 manufacturers, not realizing Myres or Lawrence even made knife sheaths. BTW, did you get a knife with the sheath? Thanks for sharing.

My favorite holster pattern is the "Texas Jockstrap". I have 4 of them. My fourth one was different from the others. All the rest are floral carved, this one is plain.

For a time, I had had my eye out for "snubby" holsters. They seem to be more difficult to find in good condition. Probably because many of these holsters were actually used, and used hard, while the ones for the larger guns might not be used as much. When I spotted this one, I hoped to win it, and luckily did. It is a Myres Model 777. The holster is a leather lined SD Myres jockstrap holster made for a Colt Detective Special and it looks almost new.

Here's a carved Three Persons I acquired from CrazyPhil's Humongous Holster Lollapalooza earlier this summer:





Interestingly, it is a perfect fit for my 4" mid 60s M10, but just a tad too short for my 4" M65. (With the M65, the trigger guard does not quite touch the lip of the holster opening. Measuring both barrels, the M65 is indeed a tiny bit longer.)

I got this beautiful holster for a very modest price. This was not only was CrazyPhil's usual generosity, he discounted the holster even further, he explained in his ad, because it was damaged and he had repaired it:



One helluva good repair job! At first I did not even notice the repair. I'd forgotten about it and it is barely noticeable. I think I noticed it by touch, not visually initially. Looking at it closely and touching it, the repair reminds me of repairs I have done on a leather Chesterfield sofa using a flexible filler, sandpaper, and dye from a leather repair kit.)

Thanks, CrazyPhil. Much appreciated!
