Hey I wondering if there were any Grands sent to our allies with the Jeep scabbards in the year 1941. I have stumbled accross a rather unique Garands Scabbard in the way that it is dated 1941 To be precise the makers mark is
US J.Q.M.D. 1941 J.D.

At the bottom of the scabbard it is stamped with either V.D.C or W.D.C. V.D.C. would be for the Australianicon Volunteer Defence Corps (I know that is misspelled however that is the Kings English I'm Guessing as that is how it appears on records), and W.D.C. for Western Defense Command. Both could been receiving Garands in 1941. There is also a L-F? (C or O) with 11- underneath that but the rest is covered up by the op rod guard. I am having one hell of a time finding a lot on this item here. Please let me know if you have any information at all about it or where I can find more records of production/distribution etc.
Thanks a Ton
