Italian Mid-20th Century Boot Knife Scabbard

This combat knife scabbard is constructed from pressed steel with a black painted finish, showing minor surface scratches and localized paint loss. The metal spring clip is secure. Produced for military issue boot knives, this type of scabbard was used by Italian armed forces during the mid-20th century. It was designed for attachment to combat boots or load-bearing equipment. The scabbard body is structurally sound with no deep dents. It retains its internal retaining springs, which provide tension to secure a standard-sized blade.
