CELLAR HOLES*OLD SCABBARD & SILVER

Roger & myself headed down to a few new sites.the 1st two sites were pounded to death.the last one we had some luck at.It was rough swinging as you can tell by all the barberry bushes.I think this site is worse than the site I found my 3rd GW button at.
got a few buttons,a 44 merc and this cool scabbard.any ideas on its age?
was real cold out there at 5am

Had a blast Dave on Sun! Boy was I draggin yesterday! That scabbard has got to be in the 1850's to 1865 in my opinion. Still more research to be done.

Can't wait to hit up those sites again.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Roger

That is a very safe assumption as you will see that style was more popular during that period than any other

Cool beans on the scabbard and it's always nice when a little silver shows up at the party!

Hi Heavymetalnut
Great find on the scabbard, shame the leather did not servive.
kuger, you answered my question before I could ask it about the leather but would there
have been a metal chape on the end of the leather?

Just a thank you or an acknowledgment every once in a while is nice.A lot goes into researching and if you type like I do...a lot of effort goes into replies

Your scabbard piece is the Throat which would be fitted into a leather,"Frog",and the nipple would hold it in place.They date from the early 1800's into the early 1900's

sorry man i thought i have thanked you in the past for some of your input? I guess maybe i forget in the excitement of the find and all.I apologize if i forgot.Thank you for the info on this scabbard.so this could be CW?

I dont know if I pizzed a bunch of guys off or what but its been really bad lately,ya feel likeyour talking to a wall sometimes!! Anyway.....yes it very well could be,but dang hard to put a definate time on it.Kind of have to go off site age/other finds Looks like it was a hefty blade....Bowie type

nah you never pizz me off.your one of the best on here Cody and i feel horrible now :O( most of the scabbards i looked at had the ring on it not a nub like this.I wish i was more knowledgable in the relic dept.gonna hit the hay.was up at 4 am.thanks again dude and merry christmas!

No worries bud,just venting........great piece you found,and Merry Christmas to yall as well

Nice Throat by the way!!
