    Would it make sense that they began dating items again after the Lend Lease Act was passed? I have found other converted scabbards from Pre WWII online or at least info on them, and none of them seem to have dates prior to 1941. Or did they begin dating items after the declaration of war?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Probably more military mindset than anything else. Since most of the WWI era leather had the manufacturer, date, and inspector's initials, someone may have decided it needed the later date when converted on it. The standard U.S. military equipment sent as Lend-Lease was not marked any way to differentiate it as L-L.
