PURCHASED BY MY DAD FOR THE MUSEUM COLLECTION IN 2001 ON , AT A TIME WHEN M1 CARBINE RIFLE SCABBARDS WERE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, HE WON IT IN A offerDING WAR ON THAT SAW THE PRICE SORE TO $510. + SHIPPING.
IT HAS BEEN PART OF THE WWII COLLECTION FOR 12 YEARS & IN STORAGE FOR THE LAST 4, IT’S NOW FINALLY BEING OFFERED FOR SALE, AS THE ENTIRE COLLECTION IS BEING SOLD OFF. PRICES FOR WWII MILITARIA WERE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE BETWEEN 1990 & 2005-06 AS SALES OF ALL SUCH THINGS, & PRICES SYYROCKETED AFTER THE RELEASE OF SUCH MOVIES AS “SAVING PRIVATE RYAN” & “BAND OF BROTHERS” MINI-SERIES, SPAWNED A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF WWII ENTHUSIASTS & COLLECTORS,WHICH MADE AVAILIBILITY OF ITEMS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO ACQUIRE, & PRICES SKYROCKETED. THIS IS A VERY NICE ALL ORIGINAL WWII (M1942) LEATHER M1 CARBINE RIFLE SCABBARD THAT MY DAD HAS WORKED ON SINCE HE BOUGHT IT. AFTER HE BOUGHT THIS SCABBARD, HE TOOK THE STRAPS, BUCKLES, & SPRING CLIPS APART, & DEEP CLEANED ALL THE LEATHER. RESEARCH SHOWS THESE M1 CARBINE RIFLE SCABBARDS WERE PRODUCED IN SEVERAL LEATHER COLOR SHADES, FROM LIGHTER RUSSET TO DARKER BROWN LEATHER, AS THIS ONE WAS. MY DAD USED A LEATHER CLEANING CREAM, THEN USED A DEEP CHOC. BROWN CREAM TO CLOSELY MATCH THE SCABBARDS COLOR & HAND APPLIED IT TO THE ENTIRE LEATHER SCABBARD, & STRAPS, THEN HE HAND BRUSHED & BUFFED THE ENTIRE THING, & PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHERTHE SCABBARD COMES WITH (2) CARRY STRAPS, THE TOP STRAP WITH SPRING CLIP & BOTTOM SHORT STRAP WITH BUCKLE. THESE STRAPS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, SOLID WITH NO TEARS OR DAMAGE, & COMPLETELY SECURED.
THE BOTTOM SHORT STRAP SHOWS A MINISCULE SURFACE TEAR BUT IT IS ONLY THAT, THE STRAP IS SOLID & WILL NOT BREAK, UNLESS THIS SCABBARD STARTED TO SEE HEAVY USE. *** UNFORTUNATELY, ONE CARRY STRAP WAS DAMAGED, & TORN IN HALF & MISSING THE SPRING CLIP, MY DAD HAD PLANNED ON REPLACING IT WITH A NEW STRAP & SPRING CLIP, BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT, SO IT IS MISSING ONE (CENTER) CARRY STRAP & SPRING CLIP. THESE PARTICULAR M1 CARBINE SCABBARDS FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ARE MISSING 1 OR 2 OF THESE STRAPS ABOUT 40% OF THE TIME. FORTUNALEY, REPRODUCTION/REPLACEMENT STRAPS & SPRING CLIPS ARE NOW OFFERED FOR SALE ON-LINE, & ON TO REPLACE LOST OR BROCKEN, OR DAMAGED STRAPS. THEY RUN ANYWHERE FROM $20-$45. APPROX. SO … THAT BEING SAID, THE SCABBARD COMES WITH (2) CARRY STRAPS,
THE TOP STRAP WITH SPRING CLIP, & THE BOTTOM STRAP WITH BUCKLE. ON THE FRONT CENTER OF THE SCABBARD IS THE DOUBLE LOOP TAB RIVETED TO THE SCABBARD TO SUPPORT THE TOP & CENTER STRAP. THE CENTER STRAP IS MISSING, & THIS WOULD HAVE COME WITH A SPRING CLIP. ***THIS SCABBARD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AFTER MY DAD CLEANED & RESTORED IT. THE SCABBARD IS SOLID WITH NO TEARS, OR DAMAGE. THE SMALL BRASS METAL SLEEVE AT THE TOP,IS SECURE & ACCOMIDATES THE M1 CARBINES OPERATING ROD WHEN THE CARBINE IS SLID INTO THE SCABBARD. ALL (9) OF THE BRASS RIVETS ARE SECURE & HAVE BEEN CLEANED BY MY DAD, WHO REMOVED ANY & ALL VERDIGRIS THAT COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS, WHEN HE TOOK THE SCABBARD APART & CLEANED IT. HE DID A FIRST RATE JOB. THERE IS NO VERDIGRIS NOW! BUCKLES & SPRING CLIP ARE SOLID & WORK FINE.
BOTH LEATHER STRAPS, THE TOP STRAP W. SPRING CLIP, & BOTTOM STRAP WITH BUCKLE (THESE BOTTOM STRAPS DID NOT COME WITH A SPRING CLIP, ONLY A BUCKLE) ARE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH THE USUAL WEAR CONSISTANT WITH FIELD USE & 70+ YEARS OF AGE & STORAGE. THEY ARE SOLID WITH NO TEARS, BREAKS, OR DAMAGE, SLIGHT MINISCULE CRAZING ONLY.

U.S.
J.Q.M.D. (JEFFERSON QUARTMASTER DEPOT)
1944 ( THE DATE STAMP 1944 “CANNOT BE SEEN” …. IT HAS WORN AWAY ENTIRELY, HOWEVER, CLOSE EXAMINATION BY MAGNIFICATION SHOWS THE DISTINCT EMBOSSING DEPRESSION OF A 4, SO MY DAD WAS ABLE TO CLEARLY DETERMINE THAT THIS SCABBARD WAS MANUFACTURED IN 1944. )
E.N.S. (PRODUCTION LINE INSPECTOR’S INITIALS)
THE SCABBARD’S END CAP IS SECURELY STITCHED & IN PERFECT CONDITION, & FEATURES THE STANDARD SMALL WATER DRAIN HOLE.OVER ALL, A VERY NICE USED M1942 M1 CARBINE RIFLE SCABBARD, THAT WAS NICELY RESTORED BY MY DAD,
THAT WILL MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY WWII COLLECTION. M1 CARBINE LEATHER RIFLE SCABBARD HISTORY:
U.S. ARMY INVENTORY CLASSIFICATION,
SCABBARD, CARBINE, LEATHER, M-1942
IN THE EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK, “GOVT. ISSUE COLLECTORS GUIDE/ETO”, by H.P.ENJAMES, HIS BOOK DETAILS THE M-1938 M1 GARAND RIFLE SCABBARD, BUT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE OR DETAIL THE LEATHER SCABBARD FOR THE M1 CARINE, HOWEVER, BASED ON MY DAD’S RESEARCH, THE FOLLOWING,
THE M1 CARBINE WAS FIRST DEVELOPED BY A HALF DOZEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE FROM WINCHESTER ARMS, ALL OF WHO COLLECTIVELY DESIGNED THE VERY SUCCESSFUL M1 CARBINE.M1 Carbine Accessories manufacturing during WWII between 1942-1945
The (4) primary cases designed for the M1 Carbine in 1942, that were officially adopted by the Ordnance Dept, & the produced thru the Quartmaster Corps, & under Govt. Contract were the following,

The M1942 M1 Carbine Leather Scabbard was manufactured by at least 3 different companies, including the Jefferson Quartmaster Depot Assembly plant, The Fulton LG Leather Company, and Boyt Leather Goods.
The M-1942 M1 Carbine Leather Scabbard was used in a similar manner as the M1938M1 Garand leather rifle scabbard, on jeeps, halftracks, motorcycles, staff & command cars & on saddles for mounted units.
Exact production numbers are unknown, but 6 million carbines were produced during WWII, so like the M1A1 Jump Canvas Carry Case Scabbard, that was produced for the M1A1 Carbine with Folding Stock for Airborne units ….where it is believed some 50,000+ were produced during the war, it’s probably safe to say that at least 25-30,000
M1942 M1 Carbine Leather Scabbards were produced between 1942-1945, by all 3 manufacturers, probably why they are so rare today on the collector market.Jeffersonville Quartermaster Depot:
Jeffersonville Quartermaster Intermediate Depot(JQMD) was a military warehouse located inJeffersonville, Indiana. Originally covering four city blocks (the Quadrangle), it expanded to ten city blocks by the end ofWorld War II. During World War II the depot produced $2.2 billion worth of goods for the U.S. Military, everything from uniforms & web gear, to leather holsters for the m1911 Colt .45, to the M1938 Leather Rifle Scabbard for the M1 Garand. It stayed in operation thru theKorean War, but was finally closed 5 years later in 1958.THE PICTURE GALLERY CONTAINS A NUMBER OF VERY RARE WWII PERIOD PHOTOGRAPHS THAT SHOW THE M-1942 M1 CARBINE LEATHER SCABBARD BEING USED DURING THE WAR. THE FIRST VERY RARE PHOTO SHOWS A MOUNTED TROOPER OF THE 4TH U.S. CAVALRY, TAKEN IN EARLY 1942 IN THE US DURING FIELD EXCERSICES, WITH WHAT APPEARS IS AN EARLY 1942 PROTOTYPE OF THE M1942 M1 CARBINE SCABBARD HUNG FROM THE REAR SADDLE RING OF HIS M1928 MCCLELLAN SADDLE. IT FEATURES A DESIGN SIMILAR TO THE GARAND’S M1938 RIFLE SCABBARD & ACTUALLY FEATURES A LONGER CHARGING SLEEVE, BUT SHOWS THE CENTER DOUBLE LOOPS THAT SUPPORTED BOTH THE TOP & CENTER STRAPS, WHICH CAN BOTH BE SEEN, USED TO ANCHOR THE SCABBARD. THE BOTTOM SHORT STRAP CAN BE SEEN AS WELL. THIS EARLY PROTOTYPE WOULD RESULT IN THE FINAL ACCEPTED VERSION OF THE M-1942 M1 CARBINE SCABBARD THAT WOULD BEGIN TO BE ISSUED LATER IN THE YEAR. THE NEXT RARE PHOTO SHOWS A DISPATCH RIDER OF THE 67TH ARMORED REGT. SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE IN 1944. HE IS ARMED WITH AN M1 CARBINE WHICH CAN BE SEEN BEING CARRIED IN A THOMPSON SUB MACHINE LEATHER SCABBARD CARRIER, MOUNTED TO THE FRONT OF HIS WLA MOTORCYCLE. THE NEXT PHOTO IS ALSO EXTREMELY RARE, & IS ONE OF THE FEW KNOW PHOTOGRAPHS FROM WWII ACTUALLY SHOWING THE M-1942 M1 CARBINE LEATHER SCABBARD BEING USED IN THE FIELD. TWO REGT. DISPATCH RIDERS FROM THE 3RD ARMY, SIT ATOP ONE OF THEIR HARLEYS TO POSE FOR A PHOTO. WHICH EVER SOLDIER’S BIKE THIS IS, AN M-1942 M1 CARBINE LEATHER SCABBARD CAN BE SEEN MOUNTED ON THE FRONT FORK OF HIS 1943 WLC MOTORCYCLE, WITH HIS M1 CARBINE MOUNTED IN THE SCABBARD. THE NEXT RARE PHOTO SHOWS MILITARY POLICEMAN PRIVATE ROY ZIMMERMAN OF THE 507TH MILITARY POLICE BATTALION, DIRECTING TRAFFIC NEAR ST LO, NORMANDY, FRANCE, JULY, 1944. HE IS ARMED WITH AN M1 CARBINE WHICH HE HAS HOLSTERED IN HIS M-1942 M1 CARBINE SCABBARD, MOUNTED ON THE RIGHT FRONT FORK OF HIS MOTORCYLE. THE NEXT PHOTO IS FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION, SHOWING A VERY NICE M-1942 M1 CARBINE SCABBARD, HUNG FROM AN M1928 MECCLELLAN SADDLE AS PART OF A MOUNTED TROOPERS SADDLE KIT DISPLAY. THE RUSSET COLOR IS A VERY NICE MATCH FOR THIS ENTIRE SET, ALL IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THE NEXT & FINAL PHOTO IS ALSO FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION SHOWING THE DIFFERENT WEAPONS USED BY THE U.S. MILITARY DURING WWII, WITH THEIR ASSOCIATED SCABBARDS, FROM THE THOMPSON SMG TO THE M1A1 CARBINE WITH FOLDING STOCK. THE M-1942 M1 CARBINE SCABBARD CAN BE SEEN IN THIS VERY NICE DISPLAY.* Portions of some text & or historical information used for item discriptions or historical info. is borrowed from several contributing web sites to provide as accurate info. as possile, when available.
