Shnell leather scabbard ?

I can't find any info in War Baby books about this , is it WWII and not reported or possibly a reproduction. It is very old but minty, snaps are green with corrosion

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I believe it to be original but try as I might can't prove it to you. Schell is the spelling...by the way... This isn't the first one I've seen by far.

phillydude, Your Schell vehicle scabbard is mentioned in a report about leather scabbards in CCNL 293-7 and it is also listed in War Baby III page 1361, although in WBIII "Schell" is listed as Shell, most likely a spelling oversight on Mr Ruth's part, I say this because he is the one that provided the info about the Schell leather Co in the CCNL .
