Re: Reproductions: Bayonet Scabbards
John,
It's tough to tell from pics, but I would say they have a welt. Whoever made them should be able to tell you how they stitched them. They look very high quality.
Will,
Craig is right about the leather wearing away to expose the stitches. Scabbard C is in pretty rough condition.
Neill,
Amazing!!!! Thanks for those pictures. I would love to see that scabbard in person. Unfortunately, it will probably be awhile before I get to travel that far south again. It looks like the scabbard is on a pretty interesting 'relic pyramid'... is there any relevancy between the scabbard and the rest of the relics there? It's interesting/strange that there is a carbine snap swivel right above it. It is also looks like they have it sitting in a weird position on that board, as if the frogg is sticking out the back toward the board bending it downward. Or maybe my eyes are just going crossed from staring at this forum too much lately.
Thanks,
Bill Lomas
