I did go back on Sunday and bought the training rifle in the 1904 rifle scabbard. Negotiated the price down 15%, not a huge amount but by my reckoning the two items are worth what I paid, plus I just plain wanted them. Who knows when I'll run into another of the civilian models, probably next weekend, but I've never seen one before, they are always the Navy model with the exception of the Army model I have.
Here's the scabbard and a cold war canvas holster I got for an ItalianM34/35. The rifle I'll try to find my old thread on the Army and Navy versions and put it with them.
