WW2 - US
Cattaraugus 225Q Knife
Photograph below shows an original scabbard (darker) & my reproduction below it.
My Cattaraugus 225Q scabbards are copied exactly from the originals in my collection - same leather thickness, stitch spacing, etc.
While the colour may seem too light, it IS authentic, as the new scabbard has not yet been oiled or given any leather/hide food
- nor has it experienced a few decades of UV light, etc.. -
so, as with my other WW2 scabbards, it is the correct shade & as issued with the knives pre-1945.
Closing snap fitting IS a USA made type, though not the decorative WW2 version;
if I find another fitting closer to the WW2 type I will start to use that instead of the plain one.
Happy to provide further photographs on request
