Probably post-war or foreign modification. Nice cutdown bayonet though.

I began to see these scabbards with the metal tip about 1990. I was never able to determine exactly where they came from, but believe they were an Argentine modification. However, I certainly am not positive about that and am open to changing that view if someone has more accurate information.
