halftrack Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Became the new owner of this today. Came from a highly respected M1 Garand collector who is no longer with us. It was labeled M1928 Scabbard. I have no reason to doubt him and a 28 does fit perfectly inside. I can find no maker marks on the scabbard. Any help identifying it would be appreciated.

Seen one like it on an old bsa motorcycle Thanks for the help! Any idea on when they were manufactured? A 28 with the vertical grip fits perfectly in it.

Outsider Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) Boyt made a lot of different scabbards during WW2. I have one of their rifle scabbards. Now I just have to remember where I put it. Edited February 13 by Outsider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
