Default One more thought about the scababrds shown so far

As I look at each of the three scabbards so far displayed here, I see that the same motif appears on all three. It is a semicircle with radiating lines that cut the semicircle into wedges. The two older ones also have circles segmented similarly by radial lines. My scabbard dated 1959 may well be the youngest of the three, and instead of a a triangular toe it has an upturned rounded tip.
