OK Folks,
In response to Paul C's call for discussion on what makes a good reproduction widget ( http://authentic-campaigner.com/foru...ad.php?t=14688 ), I thought I'd crack the seal: Bayonet Scabbards!
Why scabbards? Cuz my digital camera is in the shop and those were the pics that were handy.
Attached are the pics of the stitching along the tube of reproduction Federal scabbards from two well-known makers. If anyone has an original scabbard handy, the corresponding views of the original would be a good start to a discussion. (I think once pics of an original are available, it will be seen that these two makers do a pretty good job)
Once my camera is back in service, I'll be able to post pics of scabbards from two more makers.
