Wow I've done a lot of research on these pieces in the last 12 months.

I really think that I get you a scabbard that looks like it is also 100+ years old.

First thing, the REAL M1917 scabbards are 18 1/4 long approx., these reproductions are 17 5/8 long.

So how well will these scabbards fit? YES, I WILL GUARANTEE IT, OR YOUR MONEY BACK. If you actually have a 17 inch blade on a M1917 bayonet, the scabbard may be 2.5mm too short. (FYI, I've never seen a blade longer than 16 28/32 long). 

THE PHOTOS ARE THE ACTUAL SCABBARD YOU WILL RECEIVE.

Ask any question you have, 30 day money back guarantee, fast shipping, thanks.

*NEW NOTES 4-7-24-PLEASE READ-This scabbard may have surface rust. I am using a more powerful gun blue and I guess sitting in the mail for a week brings out more rust. I will include a piece of steel wool to clean it, if you don't like that look. Or you can wipe it with WD-40 or gun oil, etc to remove the rust. Please don't be shocked if there is rust. IT IS JUST PART OF THE AGING PROCESS I AM TRYING TO CREATE. Also oil on the leather makes it look darker, and older in my opinion. Try it if you get creative.

Also, I know these are not cheap! My cost for the India item has gone up(but they are so well made!) Also I can only find them available on IMA website now. I just am trying to produce them for a reasonable profit...to keep me motivated. I know how scarce the real ones are. Isn't it crazy how few REAL scabbards survived! I guess when the leather goes, the rest goes in the trash! Please message me me with any comment that you have, etc, Thanks Richard Turman.
