alloutww2 Posted May 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2019 I was at a car show (against my will) and there happened to be a small flea market (when I say small I mean 10-15 tables tops) and there was a guy selling a bunch of junk. I spied a theater made knife (Ill post the actual knife later) and it came in this modified sheath. My question is: is this a WW2 era sheath or a post war sheath? Does anyone recognize what it may belong to? Has the extra river added and the snap is missing. (I got the knife and sheath for only $20 so I wont be disappointed if its not original era) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron bender Posted May 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2019 Looks like it may be for a hunting knife similar to RH-36. The extra rivet in the throat makes me think a new blade went into it at some point and the owner cinched it up with the rivet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted May 13, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 13, 2019 Looks pretty well made to be done in theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutww2 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted May 13, 2019 Looks pretty well made to be done in theater Thats why Im thinking it belongs to another knife just modified for mine. The knife itself is very nice and well made, one of the nicer ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted May 13, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 13, 2019 Be surprised how well some scabbards were made.....all types of skill levels and if they had access to supplies the out come was limited only to the maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutww2 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted May 13, 2019 The thing that makes me believe that its modified is because of that spare rivet- without it the knife would be very loose in the sheath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted May 13, 2019 Share #7 Posted May 13, 2019 I think you've got it right about the added rivet. Now, we'd all like to see the knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted May 14, 2019 Share #10 Posted May 14, 2019 Good catch! That's what that is! I looked at that, thought it was genius, but didn't tie it in with good old rubber boot buckles. Would like to see how it's secured. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
