I don't know how anyone can say with certainity only 1% had these scabbards. That is another one of the "facts" spouted around without proof established with production records etc. They are more difficult to find but not extremly rare by any means. The scabbards could be ordered as an extra and I have veteran acquired them on early to late knives. I seem to have found most on rzm/m7 56 Motto examples. Nice and desireable to be sure but not worth paying double for. I have people contacting me all the time wanting one to put with that pristine knife they found without paint on the scabbard from all the drawer wear. Know your source. Lance for Russ
