ORIGINAL NEW OLD STOCK STRAPS FOR THE 1896, 1902, 1903, AND 1904 CARBINE AND RIFLE SCABBARDS – RARE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE YOUR SCABBARD:  The Models 1896, 1902, and 1903 Krag Carbine Scabbards and the Model 1904 Springfield Rifle Scabbards, when found, are regularly missing the straps that attached the scabbards to the soldier’s saddle, and these straps are almost impossible to find on the loose. 

I have managed to acquire a small quantity of the original scabbard straps.  Some are “like new” unissued with a bright russet color, and others are various darker shades of russet   depending on the leather, finish applied, and storage conditions, but all are still full length and show very little wear – the primary difference between the straps is the color of the leather.  The buckles and standing loops on these straps are all intact, the straps are full form and full length, all of the adjustment holes are intact, and the finish on the straps ranges from excellent to very good.  While all of the buckles are the roller buckle type, there are three types of these buckles – plain iron, iron with the brown japanned finish, and brass. 

Each scabbard employed two straps - the shorter of the two attached just below the mouth of the scabbard and the longer strap attached to the middle of the scabbard.  Each set offered here includes one short and one long strap. 

I will attempt within reason to match the straps you order from the remaining stock based on the color of the leather of your scabbard.  Please keep in mind this is not a limitless supply, and the color of the straps never exactly matched the color of the scabbards.   

To be clear, these are not reproduction straps, rather original old stock straps and they are seldom, if ever, encountered on the loose.  When this small supply is exhausted I have no expectation I will be able to obtain more - when they are gone, they’re gone.  (0907)  $125 per set of two straps
