USMC Stiletto Colin Stevens (31)

USMC Stiletto scabbard - back view of lower end showing the large grommet. Note the green verdigris which is created over the years by the reaction of brass to the leather. This is an indicator of age and therefore authenticity. Cleaning is recommened and toothpicks are a handy tool for this, but not metal tools. Colin M Stevens' Collection
