Hi Jamie,
Scabbard leather looks rough & the pix are poor, hold out for a better conditioned 1st luft imo.
Regards Mac 66
From photo 6, I'd say that someone probably bent the leather scabbard and may have actually popped the seam in one area. A shame, as the gold anodizing is fairly decent on the swaz. But, oh well. For that kind of price, I'd want a top notch condition piece.

The usual story regarding the scabbard, shut in the door of his kubelwagen after a night out on the lash in some little French town....

Well Gents, its not only the scabbard that has some serious issues.
The top clip of the chain is missing and replaced by a hanger....
Glad you decided not to take this one Jamie
