This is an very nice condition leather cavalry carbine saddle scabbard, made at Rock Island Arsenal in 1904. This is the first time that we have had one of these, and they are quite rare, as even by the turn of the century, the days of mounted cavalry were numbered. It is complete with both attachment straps, though their condition leads us to believe that they are unissued arsenal replacements. Measures
