sundance Posted January 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry K. Posted January 7, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2016 usually one can remove lower fitting (drag) and adjust the leather there as many times it is shrunk there, then replace the fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenkursk Posted January 8, 2016 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2016 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
