I have a G. Felix SA with the Wm mark. I has the usual brown anodized scabbard and a second bright nickel(?) with a cutout to attach to a belt. I have not been able to find any info on the second scabbard. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I posted this question on the newbie forum and Landser thought it could be a "homer" done by a vet...

More pictures would help. Are there any signs of holes or filled holes in the sides of the bright one?

Dave

The holes are there to change the fittings from the brown to the bright scabbard. I have swapped them once about 10 years ago.

I will get more photos this evening.

What you have is one complete original SA scabbard and one original steel scabbard shell + throatpiece. The shell has had the finish removed and has been buffed up to be shiny.

There was never anything like the shiny one actually used by the SA.

Still looks like a nice dagger

DLR, hi a few questions
Does the scabbard have the weight in the lower body still? And can I copy your pics to save and post on the nickle plated forum. I'll give you credit for the images also. I wont do that unless you give me the green light! Thanks BTW very cool scabbard!!!

Dave Thanks for the info. I thought it was something like you describe but was not sure. Thanks for the confirmation.

Bret You are welcome to use my photos. I have posted another here. Let me know if you could use a few more.

Dale Robertson

Dale, very cool!!! thanks much I'm working on some plated edged weapon history on the nickel plated weapons forum and I welcome what ever you can send my way. I'll post what you have and feel free to email me anything you want. BTW have you ever seen a Italian dress dagger with the painted and nickel scabbards this has that feel going on. thanks again!!

Bret Van Sant

Bret, Thanks again for the input. I have not seen the Italian dress dagger before.

Dale, Hi ya!
Say I dont own one, not into the italian thing but they a neat looking. You see most with just the chained black scabbard but I have seen a few like 2 that also had an optional plated scabbard. Maybe parade use?? not sure?? I'm sure one of the collectors here will have one to post or know of one. Bret
