Cut Down Krag Bayo Query

[James.Bolton]

I have a cut down Krag bayonet dated 1898 which is in a home made leather scabbard. I have had this bayonet for about four years and was having a closer look at it a few days ago and noticed that the scabbard has been marked very roughly as follows 'PT BOAT DIV I' 'MIDWAY I.S.'1942'.

I've added some photos and hopefully you can see the markings on the scabbard. I'm
guessing that these markings mean that the bayonet saw service in WW2 in the Pacific; however being a Brit (living in the UK) does anyone have any info as to what these markings refer to. Also any comments on the bayo itself much appreciated (by the way it is absolutely razor sharp).

Many thanks - James
