Like to match the tooling on this Scabbard

DEADEYE here and glad to be aboard.

I am looking at getting half a cow hide and making several scabbards for my rifles but I would really like to know which border stamps were used on this one?

TIA,

The innermost row looks like either a camo or a sunburst stamp. The others, I can't make out. If you could take a good closeup of just a section of the tooling, it would be easier to ID.

Hi and welcome the board!

It'd be really nice to see more rifle scabbards around here and if you need any help don't be afraid to ask for it. People is very helpful here.

I agree with Russ about the tools and a better closeup is needed to determine the outer rows. I tried to enlarge and enhance this one in Photoshop but it's just too compressed but one suggestion for the innerrow is Tandys/craftools c431 stamp.

Just copy and paste the tool name in the search box to see what it looks like http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com

can't directlink to Tandys pages. There is an array of stamps in similar fashion.

Thanks all for your help.

I just got an e-mule from my guy that has the leather which he says is half a cow. 3 foot by 7 foot. Do you think I could get 4 scabbard out of that?

[DEADEYE]

How about this one?

Also would I want to use a stiching groover?

Would I want to put a 10 to 12 oz. 3/4 inch leather spacer between the two edges to be sewn to giver it a thicker look?

I still can't tell yet, but it's starting to look like a mulesfoot pointing to the edge, a double border line, then a mulesfoot pointing down the scabbard, a double border line, then a camo tool

That's kind what I though by looking at the Tandy catalog rdb.

From the edge;

Mules Foot: U876 6868

Double border: not sure on this one

Mules Foot: U867 6868

Camoflager C831 6831

What do you all think?

Also going to use 10-12 oz saddle skirting. $150.00 to much for a side?

I just made one that same shape 2 weeks ago. I used 10oz. Wicket & Craig lined with Chap leather. It did not need a spacer.

OK I got the pic.

what it looks like to me...is he used a stitch groover on the inside edge of the 2 border lines...leaving the center raised...then going over that center area with a mule foot stamp tool...also looks like on the outside of the border edges were also done with the groover then border stamped...cuz you can see the lines that run through the border stamps...versus if it were beveled first then stamped...
