I wonder if removing the paint might turn up a worn but better anodizing on the scabbard.
Years ago I did this for a friend with an EP&S SS dagger. The paint looked about the same. I used paint remover on a piece of sponge to try out an area on the back. In the garage, with the door open, and a good fan blowing the fumes away. Little by little, the original finish emerged. The anodizing was very thin in places, but looked much better than paint.
Nothing was lost if it did not work since the paint job was not that good and could always be re-applied.
