To go with my TRB an 1880 Iron Guard Hunting Knife. Serial number 61 with complete Varny Scabbard.

Very nice indeed! Nicer than mine in fact, since the tab appears to be intact - most are missing.

Thanks Dick!
Yes, the locking tab is present. Seems to be an odd way to lock the scabbard on the mills belt as it seems to me not very secure. You would think with all the brass on the scabbard another small piece of brass to form a locking latch would not have been that difficult.
