So I just got my very own M1917 bayo in the mail today, and noticed the scabbard isn't like most of the ones I see on The net... At first I was worried that it wasn't correct for my trench gun build, but I found out it is what they call a Maxim (yep same guy) first pattern scabbard, and they are kinda rare. Evidently they ditched them early on because the belt hanger proved too weak and a second pattern scabbard was designed, incorporating the wire belt hanger into the locket.
Are there any Bayonet gurus out there in NWFA land that can tell me how rare and valuable my new scabbard is?
Should I get a different scabbard for the Trenchgun now?...It seems the scabbard is more rare and fragile than the bayo it's meant to protect...
