I thought it was original...but wasn't sure about the strap keepers. So I thought I'd just wait. The rest is gorgeous...

I think straps have been replaced along the years. Their leather is a different colour if compared to the scabbard one.

Many cases the straps had disappeared and had to be sourced...

I think( for what that's worth) these are original. They appear to match, I meant they were different from the other straps by the method they're constructed. No, I think this one's all correct. I'm still not sure about the straps on the other. There's a few here that will be along to confirm them...eventually.

I have been surfing the web and I could only find M1 Carbine Leather Scabbard which are repros like these ones ...
No original ones at ebay or at gunbrokers ...
