The grip scales are definitely neither elm or walnut being much blonder and blander of grain. Beech? Also, the scabbard appears blunter than is the norm. (I know that's not how the scabbard goes into the frog. I had separated them for cleaning and only shoved them so for the pics) Stuck in with my other Yugos for comparison...

It does look like the scabbard was converted from another model. These blonder scales may just be lighter elm scales? I have seen some elm scales close to this blond through very dark. IMHO the typical elm scales we see would would have be blonder if they were not soaked in cosmoline for decades. I have seen elm, walnut and a mahogany like wood scales on these bayos. Nice M24b!

No other grain patterns evident. There is no number on the scabbard. It was ground and not remarked. It looks like the number on the bayo was ground over leaving it faint. The grinding over all is crude. There's no "BK" but there is a partial stamp that looks like an upside down 'U'- in a triangle. This is described as 'P' "accepted from Military Control" by Branko. The M24B came off ebay for about $65. I saw it running low and said "I can't let that go that cheap" and snagged it! Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggie until you can find a rock. Will Rogers
