The Lan-Cay replacement scabbard for the Dutch Diemaco contract is very interesting. I even decided to contact Lan-Cay about it. I received a post from Mr. Barry Brown the same day; having provided him the link to this thread so he could review the photographs. In effect, he stated Lan-Cay had provided a quantity of M9 components to Diemaco. However, the scabbard configuration pictured was not provided by them. It appears the components were sold to Diemaco, & the scabbards subsequently assembled to the desired configuration by the Dutch in order to approximate the first pattern M9 scabbard as supplied by Buck.
