    Not a scabbard but a case for an officer’s sword and probably pre WWII.

    it needs a good polish, and a dowel in it to get it's shape back....
    i think it's very saleable ..

    Your challenge now is to identify L.L.M.

    if he made flag rank it would add some value to the item. You could skim thru the “Register of Officers of the USN” after judiciously selecting The year of issue, and probably find only One or a few candidates.

    My sword, purchased 1971, has a case like this but definitely a later design product in both materials and design. I was so economically-minded back then that I saved the extra $10. It would have cost to have my name engraved in it, thinking also that the sword might be more re-sellable if not personalized. I wasn’t planning on being a “lifer” and in fact resigned after 8 years of commissioned service. 20 years was required to gain “retired” status.
