    The bowie style blade bayonet for the No4 rifle is known as the No9 bayonet and the correct scabbard for it is, confusingly, the No5 type scabbard. You should be able to get a reproduction No5 scabbard without trouble from somewhere like IMA but there are original spare No5 scabbards about because they were made and used over a long period, from the No5 bayonet until the SLR bayonet.

    FN scabbard, see link below. Jim, do all the FN scabbards have the ball finial or are there some without, please? I do have some wartime produced No5 scabbards with steel mouthpieces.

    There are 8 or 9(I forget exactly. I have 7 of 'em, I think.) different bayonets for the No. 4 rifle. The scabbard for the blade types are all the same. Found 'em at gun shows myself, but that was a long time ago. $25 for one is madness. Sarcoinc.com is showing a No. 9 bayonet with a scabbard for $30. Call/e-mail 'em and ask if they have any scabbards. Server Error
    Collector's Source is really expensive.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    No ball fenial on the FN scabbards that I've used. Those were the early ones. The FAL, you know? That scabbard won't fit the FN C1 blade.

    On another note, I have it reliably from two sources here that the #5 scabbard came with both brass and steel mouths... All these years, about 45 or so, I thought only brass.

    Anyway, the link on the #5 repop scabbard illustrated the slight different profile or more pointed profile than ours FN scabbards were.
    Regards, Jim

    Some years ago when a flood of colonial ex-British material was coming into the US of A, some very interesting, what I assume to be locally sourced/made copies of UKicon scabbards showed up. I recall some No4 spike bayonet scabbards where the top socket was some kind of tropical wood, drilled out to fit the steel socket. I also recall some very interesting N0 9 bayonet scabbards, of various iterations, some with brass sockets and steel or even what appeared to be leather like scabbards similar to the No1 bayonet.

    Sort of made sense, the items they could fabricate locally they did, either to replace worn items or to avoid the initial expense.

    Unfortunately back then I sort of ignored all that stuff, when it was available in bins for very little money, preferring to buy UK pattern, though I might have one of each model packed away. I know I have one of the wooden tipped No 4 spike bayonet scabbards and a brass mounted No 9, but I know there were more variations than that.

    There were No.7Mk.1 bayonets in Owen scabbards which might account for the leather P'07 style scabbards which were legit as made in Australiaicon. I still have one or two here.
