Carbine Hunt

Hello Pete,

Indeed, I am very proud of both carbine scabbards. If I remember correctly, I purchased the A&F case in 1997 from a collector in California who had purchased it from Reese many years before. At that time, I paid a hefty amount for this case, but I do not regret it. It would be extremely difficult to find another one of this style marked A&F.

Since the picture was taken, I have added the following items to the set/display: an original A&F catalog dated 1910 listing the M1902 Carbine; an original Hans Tauscher catalog from 1912-14; a small universal 'sewing' oil can; an early glass bottle of 3-in-1 oil, sealed with all its oil (yes, the very popular 3-in-1 oil was sold by A&F in their catalog for hunters and fishermen); an early A&F hunting season timetable; and a first issue 1917 hunting license badge from the state of New York.

There are still a few 'bits n' pieces' which I am seeking to completely round out a set.

Enjoy,
Albert
