Gentlemen: I bought this scabbard at the Houston Gunshow in the late 70's or early 80's. It was nice and bright until I put neatsfoot oil on it (I know, I know, the ignorance of youth!). Its never had a knife in it and has the staples on the throat. What throws me off is that none of my reference books show an example with the leather strip over the staples. On top of that, it has been made "sterile" or demilitarized by starring out the maker. Is this scabbard the real deal? I'm thinking of selling it and want to assure myself it is original before I pass it along to another collector. Any feedback as to its origin and worth would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, H.T.
