civil war era carbine boot

[Don101]

if it doesnt need a date try this, this is a holster that i made also millitary but they used it on there scabbards you stitch a piece of leather in the insid of the seam and it does keep the scabbard open

it is on the insid of the holster

it is one piece thats about 9oz thick and a slight v shape like a chevron, or you are probabbly better off making the scabbard first and working out what angle you need for the insert, you skim both ends and stitch the bottom line first then the top then stitch the main seam once its pulled together its a little tricky but not all that bad as it sounds

if you look at this side view you can see why the v shape

the whole view of the holster
