    Was there only the one Scabbard used during WWII for the Schrade-Walden H-15? If Yes, Was it the one with 9 Rivets that encased the blade.
    9 Rivet Example Picture Attached.
    I see similar that have 6 Rivets. I assume these are newer (?)

    Thx,

    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 was referring to the odd front angled scabbard here... The left side scabbards bring to mind the Cattauraugus 225 Q and the Case 337 Q. Many knives have found their way into K-Bar scabbards over time.

    Knives are tough. It seems like knives are in all sorts of different scabbards, whether issued that way or mixed up in service which is the most likely. If they went to the Pacific, leather probably didn't survive long and they put it in something else.

    Yes, sometimes hard to sort out and could easily have been chanced at a point.

    Last stop of the day yesterday, the 4th antique market. Nothing interesting in the first three except a book on Normandy today.

    Unsorted stuff they just got at an auction. I picked out the best stuff and was told $20 for the lot which I did not dispute at all.

    WWI unissued grenade pouch, 2nd I have. The vast majority of these are unissued. This one hasn't even had it's straps removed from the pockets. No idea why they never used them, even in WWII.







    A WWII issued belt, says it's 36, I didn't measure it but it seems way too short for 36. Can't tell what the upper line says. Part of it looks handwritten.





    A WWII Phone equipment bag, third one I've seen in the last month and in the best condition. Passed up on the first two because of condition and price which was higher than I paid for the lot of these.

    I used to see those grenade carriers, they would have been great even decades later. I think the handwriting on the belt is upside down.

    That's what I think too but I can't read it either way. The "left" side the way I posted are numbers and I can make half of it out The right side I can make out the last three letters MEN. What's interesting is I wear size 36 pants and this isn't anywhere near long enough for me. I measured it and it was 34 but it stretches to 36 and that's when I can make out the numbers.
