Navy property mark on scabbard ?

[Bulldog]

Just checking something here, has anybody ever seen a navy property mark on a Hammered patterned scabbard? As this pattern was an extra cost I would be surprised to see it, but just want to check.
Thanks for any replies.

I haven't ever seen a property mark on a hammered scabbard and I agree with your line of thinking. Why would the Kriegsmarine pay for extra cost embellishments?

Thanks Billy, I've never seen one either. This fits in with my thoughts about those plain un-etched and unmarked WKC's being post-war assembled and not purchased by the navy, as many of these are found with hammered scabbards. The navy saved money by not paying for blade etches and even release buttons, so its unlikely they would purchase the more expensive hammered option.
