U.S. M6 Leather Scabbard for M3 Trench Knife Caps & Hats The South Gloucestershire Regiment foundedNew Made Item: Originally developed in 1943 for the M3 Fighting Knife this is a new made exact replica of the extremely rare all leather and steel combat scabbard that was so quickly replaced by the plastic M8 scabbard. Perfect to fill the hole in every U. S. WWII Knife collection. NOTE: The design of this scabbard has two metal plates at the bottom of the scabbard to "grip" the blade. The Scabbard will be tight until these metal plates bend slightly
