Pards,
I won a springfield bayonet and scabbard off of ebay and recieved it yesterday. The scabbard is a very peculier thing. It looks like it was originally a sewn scabbard with the buff dyed black frog. It appears that two rivets were added at some point, I think by the military, either to add stenght, or to perhaps make them look like the newer scabbards. It has been mated to a 61 springfield bayonet for a long time, and you could see the "Farmer tan" rust where the blade had been in the scabbard. :tounge_sm
Any ideas whatsoever?
