1941 M1 Garand Scabbard

[Pmoore87]

So I have come across an M1 Scabbard that is dated 1941, in fact that is why I picked it up. I had never seen a pre war one before. I know that there were manufacturing problems before the war but don't know how many were made, their rarity etc. Does anyone here have any information regarding them?

The front is a bit scratched and marked up, and someone carved or etched rather US. Anyone have any info here on these?
