Interesting WWII US ARMY M1938 Leather Rifle Jeep Scabbard M1 Garand Rifle
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:50049732 |
I believe this started out as a 1903 Springfield Scabbard that was converted to a M1 Garand Scabbard. This is marked "U.E. Corp 1918 JMC" near mouth which is a 1903 Springfield scabbard marking. Clearly it is for the Garand & there was no Garand in 1918. There is also a pattern of embossing in the leather(see pictures). I have no explanation for this unless leather was repurposed whic...h already had the embossing. Ships Lower 48
