I recently came across this Iver Johnson holster. Does anyone know when it might have been made?

 

[turnerriver]

Show us your leather...

Early 1900's is my best guess although anytime between
1870's & 1930's is possible. I have several Iver Johnson
holsters & am sure the different logo stamps would
help date them but I don't know the difference between them.
I like those old pocket holsters.

Thanks turnerriver!

I found this info today,

The company's name changed to Iver Johnson & Company in 1883.
Then they changed the name again to Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works in 1891, when the company relocated to Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

I wonder if they changed the makers mark on the holsters to coincide with the companys name change?

I showed this one over in the 1980/Present section but I don't guess it will hurt to put it over here to.

That is a beauty of a holster? Who did the work?

It's one of mine. The last one I did and it should have been right handed. I cut the front piece on the wrong side and it was such a nice piece of leather I went a head and made it a lefty.
We all make mistakes sometimes, right?
Thanks for the compliment.

Here is my S&W Model 624 with Adventure Supply Outfitters N4 full flap holster. The holster also fits well with my M28-2. It kind of has that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" look to it!

Warren,

That is a great looking holster. Is Adventure Supply Outfitters still in business? Do you have a link for them?

Thanks,

Mick
