Well the decision to stop with the horse cavalry was taken December 1972 so pretty late compared to other countries. That scabbard was not intended for ceremonial use, it belonged the standard cavalry gear.
There is a Swiss reenactment group that is called Cavalry Squadron 1972 and those keep the memories alive, here's the link to their info leaflet...

That set-up is not mine, I noticed it for sale on a Swiss auction site and was amazed by the new-condition of that scabbard but at a starting bid of $ 450 (excl. rifle ! ) I decided to leave on it.
