Cavalry picture

Does anyone have an original image of an 1860 Cavalry revolver with holster and the stock, even in the holster? Cavalry image. No imagination templates, but from a book or photo album, verifiable?

Greetings Gloyer

Nothing on my side unless I forgot something.

There are plenty of original 1860 holsters pics on the net

but there are none of a specific Cavalry model. Maybe it does not exist ?

And regarding the stock, as it has a saddle or harness ring on it, I am not sure that there was a holster for it.

But maybe someone has more precise documentation ?

Je reprends en Français : En 1992 , quand j'ai fabriqué mon uniforme du 7 ème de cavalry , j'ai fait venir des états'zunis des patrons d'époque de tous les effets que je désirais fabriquer . En ce qui concerne les holsters ,il en existait de nombreuses variantes , dont des modèles " barrel forward " crosse arrière " . . . Je suis comme toi .. . . . Y avait il réellement un mocèle " réglementaire " ,sauf celui que nous connaisons ( Back draw , avec rabat )?  ?  ?   D'après des photos d'époque , je ne le pense pas . . . ..

I was thinking of a holster like C96 or ARI 08 if you can follow me?
How or where was the stock stowed?

Gloyer

there is a case for the stock of the SW3


maybe you can ask there ?

CLINT as JOE KIDD with his Mauser 1896...

I got this information from the USA. The shoulder shaft was worn on the belt without a holster. The revolver was in the holster. It could also be stowed in the saddlebag. Original pictures are very rar.

In the middle it is a Mauser 712, fullautomatic and magazins

YES.. indeed, dear Macgloy .

Wrongly named as C96 in the advertising picture !

Macgloy,
I told you that, as the stock has a ring, I guessed that it woud have been used with the same sling as the one for the Spencer Carbine.





I think that riding with such a "thing" on your side (even if it is only a stock and not a carbine), was not very pleasant.

The Cavalry equipement changed later for scabbards and boots

c'est effectivement la copie du sabre de canonnier 1829 devenu Light artillery 1840

lorsque j'étais artilleur chez les confédérés, j'avais un 1829 qui allait parfaitement

pour ce qui est de la carabine, quand on est à cheval il y avait un "carbine socket" un tube de cuir fixé à droite de la selle dans lequel on passe le canon de la carabine pour qu"elle ne bouge pas


en civil war, le cavalier porte sur lui (et pas sur le cheval) tout son armement, sa gourde et sa bouffe (breadbag)

So the hook was just for safe the weapon while the ride onto the horse.! If you wanted to shoot, you have had to separate it. Unlike a long line for the revolver, for example

Apart from carrying while riding, maybe you can probably use the sling just like the 3 points sling is used nowadays ? See on the pics, it looks long enough.



and, btw, shooting a rifle while on the back of a horse, must be a difficut game

I rent a horse and than I will try it.

ask for a horse used to gunshots

Since the golf courses open again, I can try to hit the golf balls there. There is enough space.
Very good idea

golf + horse = polo

or golfo if you want

Great, so I could wear my polo shirt

on horse you can use your Carbine with the sling, not separate, so if you fall you still have your armes with you

you can shoot easy whith your gun on the sling, I did it very often, in reenactment

The ring on the Spencer and it's attachement was sturdy enough to sling it more than John, Steve or even Arnold did with their Winchesters...

Hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi !

But the Spencer is much more heavy!

il y avait une production sur place, les sabres US étaient faits sur place (Chicopee et autres manufactures ) ils ont été beaucoup inspirés des français mais aussi des anglais et des allemands

le sabre de cavalerie légère 1822 : 1840 cavalry (appelé wristbreaker, briseur de poignet)
le canonnier monté 1829 ; 1840 light artillery

il y a eu énormément d'importation de tous les pays d'Europe

JEB Stuart avait un sabre français 1822 modèle officier

le sling supporte sans problème la carabine, je l'ai testé en reconstitution, en plus on peut lâcher la carabine sans la perdre

on appelle cet anneau "anneau se selle " à tort, on croirait qu'il va sur la selle
