Kev in Deva Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hallo Gentlemen, At a collectors exposition in Brasov a week ago, (November 18th) I acquired this sheath, its made from a combination of leather and canvas webbing, the leather has been given an application of black boot polish!!The sheath measures: approxamatly 15 cm.The opening for the blade is 30 mm.The sheath hangs from a canvas webbing strap, measured from the rear at 11cm, the strap opens to take a web-belt, there is a cross web strap to hold the knife in place, it fastens by means of a metal stud-knob which pushes through the canvas strap.The lower part of the sheath has a strip of canvas webbing around it held in place to the rear by a rivet.There are no markings on the item.The item is old and dates from WW2 or post WW2. It does not appear to be a commercial item but a military one.Can anybody offer any clue as to where the item comes from??

Guess it will remain as unknown, must try to find a sheath knife with 5 inch blade next, always handy for sharpening the anti-vampire stakes Kevin in Deva.
