WW2 - US - M6, for M3 Trench Knife

Six makers produced the original US M6 scabbard for the M3 Trench Knife, back in 1943. Production was soon dropped as use in the field highlighted the need for a more "soldier-proof" scabbard, so the plastic M8 design was introduced & the M6 gradually withdrawn from service.

Genuine M6's are high value & very scarce collector items: as such the use of original M6's for re-enacting is to be avoided.
Other reproduction M6's DO exist, but all the ones I have seen were cheaply made & not up to standard for either knife collectors or WW2 re-enactors...cheap leather, badly sewn, poor attempts are makers markings, low quality metalwork & fittings with the wrong finish, etc.
 
My M6 scabbards have taken over 20 years to source correct fittings for: plus I have reproduced the makers marks of all 6 of the original WW2 makers;
MOOSE, BARWOOD, MILSCO, VINER, L&C, SBL.

I can also supply the M6 of your choice modified for the M1918 Trench Knife.
