    Another extraordinary piece. That 17,000 range def puts it in the area of 7th cav issue. I have one in the 21k range. 7th or 3rd. Same mod on my front sight. Keeps front sight from eating up a full saddle scabbard.

    It should have the stacking swivel. Again, an impediment to a full length scabbard and probably removed for that reason. I actually found a '73 in a museum in Nor. CA that had a two position tumbler. Very probable deserter carry off from the Fts up on the Klamath. Gold fields are right next door. Multi generational piece from same family in Shasta Co.
