Rifle and leather gun scabbard with initials RRM; leather glove.
Roy Ralph Marfitano (RRM) first purchased the scabbard to use on his horse in 1940. The horse wasn't around very long so Roy's dad, Ralph, then started using the scabbard to protect his 1927 Winchester Model 94-32 Special rifle (shown in photo) while traveling the tracks on his railroad "putt-putt" car.
