1000. S. D. MYRES SHOULDER HOLSTER FROM THE MCGIVERN-GROFF
COLLECTION This top grain right-hand shoulder holster will suspend a revolver vertically;
the suspension billet is adjustable and has a latigo keeper. The original cross
strap which spans the back and hooks on the opposite shoulder is no longer present
and a more modern piece of elastic webbing has replaced it, this webbing has
lost some of its elasticity. The back of the holster is marked “44 S+W 5” Bl”. The
body of the holster is marked “SD Myres/El Paso TX”. Holster rates very good overall.

STER FROM MCGIVERN-GROFF COL-

ride at the hip, and is attached at the beltline and
stands vertically, with the muzzle of the gun upward
toward the armpit, the butt toward the beltline. The outer periphery
of the holster has a heavy spring steel form sewn-in which gives the holster rigidity, it
is curved to follow the contour of your hip. Holster rates very good overall with minor
scuffs. The back reads “Ed McGivern presented to Walter Groff”. It appears as though
the holster will fit a 3”-4 “ revolver. (3485-16C) [Olsen Collection]
