| Commercially-made saddle scabbards, which are so commonly associated with the Western horseman and Cavalry, made their first appearance around the same time as the metallic-cartridge firearms. These long arms were generally shorter, lighter and much easier to handle, and their sleek lines made them more suitable to use in the saddle. Westerners and cavalry soldiers carried saddle-attached scabbards in a variety of ways. Probably the most popular means of packing a rifle via the saddle scabbard was the "northwest" position. The rider ran the connecting strap closest to the mouth of the scabbard through the fork of the saddle on the near or left side of a horse (the side of the horse that riders most commonly mount). |
