it is metal and looks like it was made for the 1907 bayonet, well the bayonet fits it. I'm not well versed on this type of scabbard.

I'm betting it's a Siamese scabbard, to go with that Siamese bayonet. Nice score. :thup: Do you have the rifle to go with it?

ALL metal scabbards I have seen over the years were with the Siamese bayonets....
