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 (?)

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.

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.
