Sorry but I don't agree that all the original scabbards for these pieces are the same and that they are all distinctive from a regular KS 98 dress scabbard. Since there is no catalog photo it is impossible to tell IMO--and I doubt they were made in house by the bayo manufacturer.I have seen several different scabbards and they all fit perfectly. For example,some have sold brass frog studs-some do not. I certainly would not refuse one of these in fine condition just because the scabbard was one way or another. Some also believe that all WKC KS 98's should have slim frog studs. Many do but do they all? Is it that important? IMO we will never know for sure. Would you refuse a fine one because of the scabbard? IMO many times we tend to nit pick just a bit too much.
Also-the fact is we don't even know for sure its even for Forestry. I have never seen even a bit of proof for that.
