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 ."
