Which Scabbard/Sheath for the M1905E1 10" M1 Garand Bayonet?

[Brownwater]

I have what I believe to be an M1905E1 "second issue" bayonet. It has a 9-3/4" blade with one fuller on each side that terminates 3" from the end of the spear-point blade. It is marked on one side of the ricasso only as follows: AFH, Flaming Bomb and US (NO DATE). Nothing on the other side of the blade, nor anywhere else on the bayonet. Metal is about 90% in the white, with traces of what appears to be dark parkerizing remaining on the blade. Grips are black Bakelite. There is no scabbard, therefore my question: There are several different scabbards listed on the internet with varied markings. We will also be having a Gunshow here in Charleston on 26/27 November. What markings & materials am I looking for to try to match the bayonet with the appropriate scabbard?

Any advice appreciated! Thanks, Butch

If it's an original 16" bayonet cut down to about 10" for the M1 Garand, then it should go with a cut down M3 scabbard, too.

No, this one was born in its current length....you can tell the cut-downs by the fuller going all the way to the end.

Then a regular M7 scabbard would be correct.

The 10"cut-off one was the Model 1942 or M-1905E1.
The Bayonet, M1 standardized in March 1943 with a "10"" blade originally made that way would go in a M7 olive green Fiber sheath.
There was also a olive green Khaki cover with a black leather tip, but those were not normally used, and are hard to find at this late date anyway.

It would have a large U.S. Flaming bomb on the front of the metal throat, with a wire hanger for a pistol belt. It would lock in the scabbard with the push-button lock on the bayonet.
