Curious about m6 scabbards

Were any m6 scabbards made without the wire belt hanger, or has the wire hanger just been cut off? I see them on EBay and came across one locally which I didn't pursue figuring it was cut off. Thanks..

Yes, many were cut-off. Apparently, to facilitate them being strapped around the lower leg, typically by paratroopers.

The M1910 belt hooks were cut off because they actually got snagged on brush , or branches, impeding movement, Found that out the hard way when I wore a MK2 Gerber strapped to my leg. No, I didn't cut off the belt hook. SKIP
