M1 Carbine leather scabbard.

Does anyone have any good pictures showing the proper way to install a leather scabbard on a Jeep? I'd like to mount it without drilling any new holes. I'd also like to mount it within reach of the driver. Thanks.

Which Jeep?

Edit: Re read your post and saw "leather" (after a cup of coffee).

M38s have six holes in the windshield frame, but those are for mounting the steel scabbard.

No pictures but it seems to me I've seen them strapped to the side mirror on the driver's side and hooked to whatever else was available (that was on MB's.) I believe the design was originally for the horse cavalry as we were given a complete rig by an old cavalryman that consisted of Mclellan saddle, saddle bags and a M1 carbine scabbard, and it all hooked together. Wish my dad had kept it.

I'm sorry. I should have mentioned it's an M38.

i would think that being a M38 that already has provisions for the steel scabbard that it is up to you to figure out how to mount a leather one without drilling holes. I have not worked with the leather ones although I have a MB coming along...could you utilize the windshield mounts already present on the M38?

I already have the metal one below the windshield. I just happened to run across the leather one and thought I might add it later. I have both an M-1 and a M-1 carbine.

Have always seen them attached on the drivers outside mirror, really no other place for it.
