Item Description: Translate description

US Army cavalrymen out on the Plains in the Indian Wars were issued the Trapdoor Springfield carbine, as its shorter, lighter design made it easier to fire on horseback. The carbine was housed and attached to the saddle in the specially designed M-1887 "boot" scabbard, which featured a brass plate fixed to the front throat for reinforcement, and was longer than previous models for better stability. This US Army Indian Wars Cavalry Trapdoor Springfield Carbine M-1887 Leather "Boot" Scabbard is in Good Condition, with the maker’s mark having faded away long ago, and with moderate overall drying, stiffening, crazing, scuffing, surface cracking, and age wear evident. Most interestingly, it boasts the classic brass reinforcing plate at the front throat, sports the original leather cross straps with black enameled steel closure buckles, and features the original leather vertical suspension strap riveted to the upper back. It’s stamped with the inspector initials “F.A.H.” at the bottom front edge of the body, and is a fine example of a rare, original US Army Indian Wars Cavalry Trapdoor Springfield Carbine M-1887 Leather "Boot" Scabbard. Lastly, this boot scabbard comes directly from the personal collection of renowned US military firearms author and historian Bruce Canfield, and a signed letter of authenticity stating as such will accompany this piece.
