How do I know if this is the correct sheath

Webster Marble formed Gladstone Mfg. Co. in 1892. That company created the first folding Axe in 1893 which lead to the incorporation of Marble's Safety Axe Co. in 1898. The company became Marble Arms & Mfg. Co. in 1911 & enjoyed years of success until succumbing to a shut down of production in 1974. The brand was brought back to life in 1994 & enjoyed a grand rejuvenation that later gave way to another shutdown in 2009. Many great knives & tools were crafted over the company's storied history.

How do I know if this is the correct sheath

Post by LKSKNIVES »

My dad has a few Marbles knives match safes and compasses. I will post a picture of a Jet Pilot Knife and a Sheath is there a way to tell if it’s the correct sheath?

Those both look a little fancier than the run of the mill JPK knives and sheaths.

They look like they match.

Those are out of my dad’s collection from what I have read is there a two versions of the Marbles JPK. I thought they said the commercial version has the bright blade. I Don’t know by any means. There are a couple of sheaths like that one and I have plenty of different knives like that just am not sure how to match them correctly.

I believe the scabbard is correct. You are also correct that it is is a commercial model, the military ones also had steel guards.
