Offered here is the black bridle leather cover for a M1859 naval boarding ax. Not a piece commonly encountered.

Main body is made of one piece, folded at front edge, and sewn along bottom edges and back. Sewn on back of that is the 2.2” wide belt loop, and sewn to the front of the belt loop is the 1” wide closing strap that keeps the ax head sheathed.

The leather remains in good, pliable condition with surface finish crazing overall. Some minor finish loss on back and belt loop. Closing strap is complete and unbroken. A small brass “button” finial remains well attached to the front in conjunction with that strap. All stitching on the body is original and unbroken. Stitching on the bottom edge of belt loop was restitched at some point. Measures approximately 8.5” x 6.75” at widest points.

Front, right side is clearly stamped “N.Y. / P.N.H.”

A rare and fine leather accoutrement from the Texas Civil War Museum collection.  [jet][ph:L]
