This is a Apache Native American Indian men's rifle scabbard from circa 1850-1890. The rare piece has an excellent Indian tanned Elk hide with calico trade clothe lining, long hide fringe, and a geometric cut out accent with red trade clothe showing through. The rare piece has some fringe loss, but is an excellent piece. The piece would have held a trade musket and later a lever action Winchester rifle. The museum piece is in very well preserved condition. Measures 47"L x 14"W (with fringe).
