S. D. Myres Saddle Company El Paso TX The Best in Officers Equipment Since 1888
Myres Famous Holsters and Belts
$ 155.00 + $ 5.00 S.H & I
The 35 page booklet or catalog is in nice shape with minimal wear and tear. The book is entirely printed in sepia tone
photographs. This is an original, circa late 1930's book and not a reproduction!
At the time, Myres had built an excellent reputation among Border Patrol officers and the first several pages is devoted to
their equipment: Sam Browne Belts, Hand Cuff Cases, cartridge cases, etc. There are more tooled holsters than you can
shake a stick at in Ranger and Tom Threepersons Styles including some boot holsters, cross-draw holsters and shoulder
holsters. There's even a very nifty Wrist band spring holster for a .41 Derringer. There are specialty holsters such as a No. 38
Quick draw Detective Model for either a Colt or Smith & Wesson, and several styles of a Specialty No 980 for a 22 - K S & W,
Colt Woodsman or Hi-Standard, You'll find cases for automatic pistols, brief cases that are fully tooled, Belt slide Loops, knife
sheaths, clip cases, an awesome rifle scabbard, shell Cases,: Equipment for Sportsmen such as Carbine Scabbards, Gun
cases, Cartridge belts, and some incredibly rich Ranger Sterling Buckle sets: By the time we get to page 29 the Buscadero
rigs are featured with heavy and ornate tooling on the belts and holsters and several more pages of exquisite belts, both
dress and cartridge and finally some fully carved Club and Kodak bags.
The front cover has a photograph of Captain John R Hughes, the last Texas Ranger and the back has a picture of Cowboy Star
Gene Autry wearing the most outrageous pair of Myres carved chaps I have ever seen. The first few inner pages are
testimonials from customers including H H Carmichael, the father of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Charles Askins
Two Time National Champion Pistol Shot and Ed McGivern, Firearms authority from Lewiston Montana, and J H Fitzgerald,
Firearms Expert.
RMP Flap Holster ex Bill Mackin Collection
$ 75.00 + $ 5.00 S.H. & I
This is a little-used Cowboy / Western Holster, nice condition, maker-marked RMP. The tooling is crisp, with nice detail. Very
little wear. Medium-duty leather, the holster has a loop on the back so it can be slid onto a belt. Aside from the RMP maker
stamps there is an additional marking on the back loop that reads H2384.
The holster has the RMP cartouche in three places, on the flap, near the throat and on the toe. The tooled design around the
border is pretty art deco looking and helps to date this piece to circa 1912-15. The toe is closed except for a very small drain
hole on the folded side. This holster has not been cut or modified in any way. The holster has been stored flat for some time
without a gun so there is some crackling along the crease side but it's not too deep, the same thing with the crease of the
flap. There is no dry rot, the leather is in very nice, firm condition.
Measurements: 7" on the long right side and just a little under 4 1/2" opening across the throat. The flap has a great brass
snap button with some verdigris on the underside. Former owner's initials CSA on the flap which will probably clean off with
persistent applications of Black Rock or Bentley's Glycerin Soap.
Provenance: From the personal collection of Bill Mackin (contributor to Rattenbury's Packing Iron book and the Graham book
Old Cowboy Saddles and Spurs).

Well made early BULL ELK LEATHER Shotgun Chaps Outside pockets, conchos.
Very nice condition. Unmarked as to maker
$ 250.00 + $ 12.00 S. H. & I
Fantastic pair of shotgun chaps in excellent condition. These chaps are made of supple and durable Bull Elk leather. Most
shotgun chaps had at least some rough out and these are no exception. The legs are smooth but the pockets, which are on
the outside and the billet area are "rough-out". They are extremely well made with fancy, decorative triple-ply trim around the
waist that has a fancy stitched pattern. The outside of the legs has a zipper manufactured by Scovill along with fancy and
decorative laced leather trim. These chaps do not have a laced-up waist, there is a single rawhide tie between the two legs.
Where the tie attaches there are nickel silver conchos however one concho is missing. The front features a piece of harness
leather and a very heavy buckle. The buckle is rounded or similar to a horseshoe and is marked SOLID BRASS U.S.A. is
imprinted with North & Judd's Anchor mark. It is not a clipped buckle nor is it a roller which helps to date these chaps
somewhat, I would venture to guess they are ca 1930s There are copper rivets backing the belt section that show appropriate
verdigris. These chaps are professionally made from the hide of an Elk that was probably harvested by the Cowboy who
owned them originally. Measurements: 38" from center of waist through pocket to bottom. Inseam is 30 1/2" . Please note
these chaps do have some "barnyard patina". I have not cleaned them.

Nice pair of vintage Women's cowboy boots
Classic Justin Exotics Lizard Two-Tone 8 1/2 B
$ 28.50 + $ 9.00 S. H. & I.
This pair of vintage, very pointed-toe Cowgirl boots just needs a tiny bit of TLC before they're good to go for another twenty
years. The upper leathers have eight row flame stitching on medium orange split cowhide. Because these are vintage boots
the leather is incredibly soft. The bottoms are exotic Iguana Lizard Skin in a medium brown color and the pulls at the top
match the bottoms. All leather construction, double pegged and stitched soles. Original Justin heels in good condition. One
boot, the left, has a hole in the outer layer of the sole and it looks like it has been caused by the clutch in a pickup truck if you
ask me. It's not an expensive proposition to have quality boots resoled, it usually costs about $50. The toe is very narrow and
pointed, a desirable feature in vintage boots. Newer styles of these boots sell for $300-$350 so they are a worthwhile
investment. There is light soiling but the leather is not torn, nor does it have holes or cracks. Justin boots are very
comfortable!

Single Crockett Spur with an A. J. Williams spur strap
$ 55.00 + S.H. & I.
This single Plains-Style aluminum spur is marked CROCKETT. It was probably made in the late 1930s. It's all hand made, not
machined as you can tell as the light rolls around the inside heel portion. The spur features a 20 point rowel and shows very
little wear. The spur is engraved with zig-zags and florals. Although the spur is made of aluminum I believe the swing button,
which is also engraved, is nickel-silver. The Spur strap is incomplete, the buckle half is missing however the workmanship is
fine-fine-fine: exceptionally beautifully tooled in the manner of A. J. Williams (see my guide "The Saddlemakers" for more
information on this Wyoming maker. Beautiful Display piece.
