Greg from what I understand blade and guard marked Camillus knives were issued with M8 scabbard. Only the blade dated Camillus were issued with M6 scabbard.

That is interesting. Mine was a flea market find so I have know idea
if the sheath was supposed to be original to the knife or not. I just
assumed that they were a set.

If you can hear an odd noise it's me sobbing again. Great bargain you got there.

Case knife blade dated was issued with Milsco scabbard only. This is totally correct as issued. Great knife.

Just a thought,

My M3 and M6 may not have come from the factory as a set but who's to say
that they may not have been put together during one of it's trips through the
replacement depot or mixed up by two GIs playing mumbly-peg.

I know that there is the possibility that they were put together by some unscrupulous
dealer in the 70s but I don't think so.
