MR.WWII FANATIC Posted July 9, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2013 Just picked this M1A1 Carbine Scabbard up last week at a big antique shop in MD. It was tagged "WWII Tent Case". I picked it up for $20....how did I do? From what I can make out its dated 1943. I'll post some more photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.WWII FANATIC Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted July 11, 2013 Haha sweet! I would love to get my hands on one of those Steve! Does anyone have an idea on the approximate value of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdriver Posted July 11, 2013 Share #12 Posted July 11, 2013 I sold a pristine one about a year ago for $400. I have seen them go from $250 to $300 in the condition yours is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1987 Posted July 11, 2013 Share #13 Posted July 11, 2013 On a related note, has anyone seen a 1942 dated jump scabbard for sale lately? My M1A1 is very early production, I'd like to get a jump scabbard from as close as possible. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.WWII FANATIC Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share #14 Posted July 11, 2013 From the bit of research I've done, I've seen a few 1944 and thats pretty much it, mine appears to be dated 1943 and that is the earliest I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Andrews Posted July 11, 2013 Share #15 Posted July 11, 2013 I cannot recall seeing any with "1942". I have a late one -- GREEN, from "Hav.Stch.Co.", 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandy Posted July 15, 2013 Share #16 Posted July 15, 2013 I have an original mid 1943 all early features Inland M1A1 gotten over 30 years ago..It's been with a 1944 dated scabbard since I mated them..at the same gunshow...1981 in Stratford Ct. an older man brought it in, and sold it to Bernie Lafferty, I got it from Bernie for $550.00...the scabbard cost me $175.00...

cplnorton Posted July 24, 2013 Share #17 Posted July 24, 2013 Steve I would love to see more pics of your Type I. I have been looking for one for years, and have never found one I didn't think someone had messed with. I found this really nice original Type II years ago, but the Type I's are ever elusive. BTW the jump holster I have is a 43. I have never seen a 42 one either and I always look at everyone I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 24, 2013 Share #18 Posted July 24, 2013 Sorry for hijacking the thread here, but what is the small loop above the belt loop on the back of the jump case for? Never been able to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ad82recon Posted August 5, 2013 Share #19 Posted August 5, 2013 Sorry for hijacking the thread here, but what is the small loop above the belt loop on the back of the jump case for? Never been able to figure it out. So one of the front straps of the M1936 suspenders can pass through it for stability. regards Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuron Posted August 11, 2013 Share #21 Posted August 11, 2013 Wow I am new to this stuff and did not realize the worth of these type of items. I will definitely be on the lookout from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
