The photo attached displays one of Tom Threepersons' personal holsters, with the original carving pattern. This one is believed to have been made by S.D. Myres Saddlery c. 1920. Originally, Tom's design was a strong-side, high-ride, open top holster with a modest forward can't. Later models featured hammer thongs, and then straps with snaps. Finally, this design evolved into the thumb-break styles that remain popular to this day.
