    scabbard ID ??????

    Can anyone help identify these scabbards? A friend has several, at least old leather scabbards. They are about 22 1/2" long with a brass "ball" tip.
    They are for a triangular shaped bayonet.
    The scabbard has a leather collar around the top and a couple inch long piece leather that might buckle into some kind of frog? It has holes in it for the buckle.
    I would think these are American as he has allot of them but doesnt remember where from.
    He has a sizable antique business and has had a long time.
    I will try and get photos.
    Just trying to help him out as well as anyone that might need one of these
    Thanks

    Any chance of some pictures Brad? I think it fair to say that there are more bayonets out there than there are scabbards. What ever scabbards your friend has it is a safe bet that some one needs them.
    Is it not better to place a question mark upon a problem while seeking an answer than to put the label `God` there and consider the matter closed? Joseph Lewis
