Swiss rifle scabbards...

The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

The top one is for the M1893 carbine.


The same type but just a little bigger is for the K11/K31.





The second is for the Stgw57, this scabbard was a modified one it looked originally like the one on the top but it was changed to make place for the much wider Stgw57 assault rifle.





The last one was specially made for the Stgw57 and those date from the 60's/70's





Before anybody starts asking <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":">; , yes these were used by the horse cavalry that the Swiss had till '74.





Thanks,

The K-31 scabbards seem to be prevalent lately....I guess I may break down and get one. It would make a proper gun case at least<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">;
