What was it used for? It has leather looped ends. You can see one side in the first pic. Other side is the same size.

Here is one for an 1873 Springfield "Trapdoor" 45/70. The scabbard & US badge are repro, the bayonet is original.

Sorry I didn't reply to your text message and photo, Newt. I'm not much good on some of the post-CW stuff.

That's a cool find!
