I'm leaning towards repro as the button tabe are not star-dot marked.

I have studied US WWII field gear for about 20 years as well as produceing a product line of replica gear.

Your jump scabbard is not orginal, but the dirt is...

It appears to me sombody got it dirty to impress upon a potential buyer that it is old and "could" be original...

Little details give it away though

All the button tabe was marked?

I don't like anything about it! Color is wrong, material is wrong.
Another repro and not a good one.
