Recently acquired from local gun show. Painted scabbard why red idk?? W S and what looks to be M-294, H G stamped in the scales(looks like a 'G'). Still has remnants or original green paint. Is electro etched with soldiers initials on blade "J T M", and last name on the tang "Manarik" Couldn`t pass at $300Cad, up here they`re selling from $500-$800   |

Any idea why the red paint, is it military or just to pretty it up. MP use maybe, asking because I`ve never seen red painted scabbards before. |

After and intensive internet search, I could find no ref to common wealth scabbard use with red paint. One of its previous owners must have liked red I guess. Well its unique thats for sure.

| I'm still on the hunt for a wartime poker for my 11/44 dated No5 that's never been FTR'd , nor import marked. The prices are crazy and generally conditions low from all the Malaysian used/issued beaters out there. |

| i just bought a 3/44 marked enfield no5 j. carbine w/ the matching bayo, both in great shape for $500 from a older gentleman from church. he knew what they were worth but knew i had regrets of not picking up the rifle 20 years ago when i last saw one so he gave me one he!! of a deal. the bayo was on it when he took it off his gun rack. pics of them are on the no 5 jungle carbine thread. bayo. has 355 etched in the wood. no other markings. |
