    WTB M1887 hospital corps knife in need of a sheath

    I'm looking for an 1887 hospital corps knife in need of a sheath. Or I'll sell my hospital corps sheath if someone has a knife in need of one.

    Leather loop or brass hook, and if the former, what were you wanting for it? Scabbards are (or were) relatively common, but the knives have always been rare.

    I've had an excellent brass-hook scabbard for years, and lucked into a pretty decent knife on eBay about 4 years ago. It came with the body (only) of a scabbard - somone had cut the hanger completely off.

        Thank you - sounds just like mine, which IIRC, came from Dixie in the late 70s, when most of their stuff was still originals.
