    Late P1888 Scabbard?

    Recently examined a Britishicon P1888 bayonet scabbard which is different in that the mouth piece has the three rivets standing proud of the mp and a small tear drop shape frog hook. These are features of the later P1907 MkII scbd. This will not accept a P1907 or IP blade but fits a P1888 or P1903 blade perfectly.
    There were P1888 scabbards made during WW2 and I am wondering if this is one of them.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
