Leather Carbine Scabbard - Speculative Enquiry.

[TeeDee]

This is my Marlin 1894 Lever Gun.







I think I'd really like to give it a nice authentic Leather Scabbard to be in keeping with the heritage of the firearm.

My Main question to any prospective Leather workers out there is as its a Firearm , obviously a highly restricted item - could you make a scabbard remotely? based on various measured specs and provision of dimensions?

By scabbard I mean this :-



So , can leatherworkers make things based upon measurements alone? As this is a scabbard the margin of tolerance isn't tight as it must draw freely.

Anyone want to chip in with ideas. Thanks.

Could you create a paper or cardboard pattern of what you want and send it to the maker?

If that would work for the maker - yes.

do you want the straps on it ?

Anyone?

EDIT:- Unless of course if there is a South West leather worker I can bring the Carbine to whilst they work and measure it.
