Update: Below contributed by US Militaria Forum member. Scabbard, canvas, carbine, cal. .30, M1 Ordnance drawing number: 771100 Stock Number: 34-S-299 Price: .53 each Some additional information that I came across and found interesting. From the publication; Quartermaster Equipment For Special Forces by Thomas M. Pitkin Q.M.C. Historical Studies No. 4 Feb. 1944 Taken from page 261 "A scabbard was needed for the new folding stock , M-1A1 carbine , which was now coming into production and was to be issued first to parachute troops . At the request of the Headquarters, Airborne Command, the Parachute School at Fort Benning devised a canvas scabbard for the new weapon . This was approved by the Quartermaster Corps Technical Com mittee and detailed specifications for its procurement were prepared by the Jeffersonville Depot . The Quartermaster Corps had been directed to see whether some modification might be made of the scabbard for the older M-l carbine , so that the same scabbard would serve for both , but it was found that the designs of the two weapons differed too greatly for this."33 "33. Minutes of the Quartermaster Corps Technical Committee , December 3, 8, 1942 ; Quartermaster Corps Tentative Specification , J.2.D. No. 280, February 22 , 1943 ." |
