<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mill Cove Treasures, post: 45874, member: 60&quot;]Davey, thank you for the link.&nbsp; That is exactly what I&#039;ve run into.&nbsp; Same number but not quite the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did find a discussion on a military collectors board.&nbsp; On the second page, a member posted some photographs of &quot;real&quot; markings on a Rock Island Armory 1906 scabbard and one of his photographs shows the exact markings that are on mine.&nbsp; The initials under the 1906 are HEK and that is the inspector&#039;s initials.&nbsp; All real scabbards have the inspector&#039;s initials under the number.&nbsp; They also show that the Bayonets are SA.&nbsp;&nbsp; So that answered one question.&nbsp; Yes, they were meant to be together.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have to check for a drain hole on the the bottom of mine. First I still have to try and get some sleep.&nbsp; Another long night of insomnia. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Here is a link to that discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/205545-beautiful-nos-m1905-ria-1906-bayonet-with-matching-ria-1906-scabbard/page-2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/205545-beautiful-nos-m1905-ria-1906-bayonet-with-matching-ria-1906-scabbard/page-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/205545-beautiful-nos-m1905-ria-1906-bayonet-with-matching-ria-1906-scabbard/page-2</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
