White scabbard

[Sleepwalker]

Hallo,

here is a white painted scabbard.

The type is like the Vz24 copy, made by FN M1935 for Peru(?)

But with white Paint i see no time bevor.

Has this scabbard painted in Peru or deliverd FN this type of vz.24 copy to other contrys in Europe?


Regards

Parade? in Peru?

[RH1941]

Everybody has parades

Lots of goose stepping and Stahlhelms in Latin America...
Might also have been issued to Police or Navy who favour white equipment, especially for parade/formal use.

Looks like Peru M1935 scabbard under the white paint looks like is normal blueing? so it could be a camo or a later applied paint.

[Sleepwalker]

yes, normal bluing

has made FN export in other contrys?

white camo in Peru?

[AndyB]

Why not white camo in Peru, there is higland area with peaks to 6000 m in Andes.But certainly it could be other contract too. As FN deliveries are not described correctly. best regards,Andy

Almost certainly. Parade or duty use and done at unit level.

I think just about every military force in the world does this!
