Just thought I'd show some variations of the Murphy Combat knife scabbards.

This one is named in Navy fashion. It's the back of the center scabbard of the 3 tooled styles.

Cap Camouflage Pattern I

Interesting one with the Italian insignia, in Bill Mauldin's "a sort of a memoir" he says he came across a group of GI's who had taken these stars and put them on their collars to make them appear like they were generals.

Thanks for posting those sheaths. It's interesting to me to see another example of a carved/tooled sheath. Now I'm wondering how common they may have been. I always assumed mine was done at sometime by a previous owner. I did run across a reference that Dave Murphy got at least some of his sheaths from a maker around the Pendleton Oregon area. While our two sheaths are definitely different I'm starting to wonder if some of them had been hand tooled from the source.

Murphy used W H McMonies Leather in Portland Oregon as a sheath maker. Occasionally you will find one stamped with the McMonies logo in the leather.

 

All the best
