Is there any nondestructive way to stretch a leather Civil War sword scabbard that has shrunk about an inch over it's 26 inch length? I believe it's all leather without any wood or leather core.

usually one can remove lower fitting (drag) and adjust the leather there as many times it is shrunk there, then replace the fitting

If Terry's good advice does not work for you, or if you discover the leather under the drag is noticeably different in appearance than that which has been more exposed to the elements over the years, then your only other hope is to take it to these guys:
