Boy, this is going to start a fight. There is a disputed scabord whuich is
more like a box htat I think that was used on a vechicle or pack horse. I
had one and sold it. It was made out of leather and was reinforced with
blued metal. Very large and heavy. Some people say it isn't BAR, but one
fits nice in it. Thanks Howard--------
