This scabbard is labeled as a Pattern of 1861 Type III by Robert M. Reilly in his book “AMERICAN SOCKET BAYONETS AND SCABBARDS.”  The leather is well used but is holding together okay. The frog has seven rivets with one on the collar for a total of eight. The frog has multiple creases from use and the remains of an Inspector’s stamp. Much of the finish is worn off the surface of the scabbard body. Brass tip is present and has a nice patina on it. Frog has a very small tear along top edge. It meas. approx. 0.50 inch in length. Item was definitely used.
