An elaborate Celtic scabbard of 1-200 AD, in two colours of bronze 1916 Leather Scabbard for a saddle lever-action rifle of Jack Peters, a ranch hand that worked on the Grant-Kohrs Ranch, in Powell County, Montana. A scabbard is a sheath for holding a sword, dagger, knife, or similar edged weapons.
