Can You Identify This Purse?

I occassionally read through Ask ORblogs, which is like a localized version of AskMeFi. This question caught my eye as it sounds like something a reader of this site might know (and I'm just copy/pasting the question here, so don't blame me for the errors)...

I bought this purse in TN and it has a horse logo embossed over jwm derr Bend oregon USA.Does anyooone know anything about jwm derr? It is a really nice hand crafted leather purse.
Can anybody help him? Either comment over there or here.

JWMDerr stands for Jan and Bill Derr.
The had a quality leather goods making business in Bend in the late 1970's early 1980's. Sadly, Bill was killed in a car wreck early-on in venture. Jan continued on for awhile, but I lost track of her.
