<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mill Cove Treasures, post: 45864, member: 60&quot;]I spent some time trying to find this scabbard with this bayonet.&nbsp; The Bayonet is a Springfield Arsenal 1912 with the serial number US 518616.&nbsp; The scabbard is marked but difficult to read. because the leather is cracked.&nbsp; It looks like R A 1906 H K or HEK.&nbsp;&nbsp; The bayonet fits into the scabbard and the locking mechanism on the handle works.&nbsp; I have to push the button to get the bayonet out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everything that I found for the 1912 Bayonet stated it was a training fencing Bayonet and looked nothing like this.&nbsp; I finally found something similar but it was a 1911 with a 1905 type 2 scabbard.&nbsp; My scabbard looks like a type 2 1905 but marked 1906.&nbsp;&nbsp; Type 2 scabbards are considered rare and worth more than the bayonets.&nbsp; Bayonets without the type 2 scabbard were selling for $150 to $250.&nbsp; With the type 2 1905 scabbard they were selling from $695 to $795.&nbsp; Both my bayonet and scabbard are in terrible condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t know anything about weapons and can only go by what I find through research.&nbsp; My questions:&nbsp; Why can&#039;t I find another 1912 Bayonet like this?&nbsp; Even though the bayonet fits and locks with the scabbard, could this be made by another company, another country and it&#039;s a marriage that coincidentally fit?&nbsp; If it is a rare scabbard, is it worth anything in this condition?&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s just me and I shouldn&#039;t do this at 3:25 a.m.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here are a few photographs and a link to a slide show on photobucket with larger photographs and more views.&nbsp; Now, I think I will try and get some sleep. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard" rel="nofollow">http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912 Bayonet 1906 Scabbard</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard/P1140335PS1_zpsmsihdjyb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </a></p><p><a href="http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Millcovetreasures/slideshow/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard/P1140356PS1_zpsxteyaakt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </a></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard/P1140362ps1_zpsv6z2tccu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard/1200_004aaa_zpsvmgkng4a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/1912%20Bayonet%201906%20Scabbard/P1140353Ps1_zpsp0ijm4p3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
