Well, I sold my WWII vintage leather handled bayonet and early M8 sheath when I had the 1943 Inland and 1944 Winchester, neither of which had a bayonet lug. With the acquisition of my Inland mix-master, I decided to look for a bayonet again. I knew going into it that any leather handled original would be $150 to $200 depending on condition (I think I got $175 for mine last year). I figured I would pick up a Vietnam era Kinfolks made, or something like that. DANG! Real M4s, even Vietnam era are going for $100 or more. I wanted one, but not that bad.
Then I tripped across this auction on EBAY were Northridge is selling Korean Military made M4s with the grooved rubber handle and a new made repop M8A1 sheath for $30 + $6 shipping. I figure it is better than the commercial knock offs from China with phillips or torx head screws in the grips!

Hmmmmmm.... since I bought mine, they changed it and have beat up, repaired sheaths. I'll have to see what I get. I will file a complaint with EBAY buyer protection if then send me a P.O.S. sheath....Information
