Tom -

obviously an HKL sheath, no question, and you are starting to get the picture. Doesn't look like a Johnson does it? You should have a good idea yourself by now. Here is another for your perusal. This is nothing new. Do note though that they are both 1-6 sheaths and pretty much identical. I would venture to say they were made in the same batch. Also note there appears to be a slight "flat" at the dome of the snap, which has been mentioned before even on the Hesier marked snaps of this type. This very,very limited usage, is similar to the small brown painted glove type snaps that you may have seen on also a very few sheaths from the period.

If you read my post earlier in this(?) thread, it has been determined Heiser did use a baby dot type snap on holsters primarily, and a few generic knife sheaths. Apparently a couple (maybe the only ones I recall seeing) found their way onto an RMK sheath made by HKL. I agree with Ron's previous post that it is a larger snap of the baby dot type. You can really see the size difference on the keeper strap. You guy's gotta give me a break. I keep repeating myself over and over. Getting tired man.
