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.
The Model 94 rifle was a very popular big game rifle in those days (1920s-1980s)....

"These hunters were camped on Black Creek, ten miles north-east of McCoy in 1912. They are: Rudolph Ebert, Carl Schrupp, Ernest Werner and Fritz Arendt. The photo by Martin Schomers. At that date, it's doubtful if any one of the group possessed a hunting license. Note the grouse hanging on the tree, one of the reasons that grouse, once so plentiful in those days, are so scarce now." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.11
