As for checkering on the scabbard, Bill Porter mentioned to me the original/prototype P.I. scabbards had a different, coarser cut to the grip panel. LanCay decided to make it finer, so the mold to produce the scabbards had the old checkering recut . This was an economical way to avoid the cost of making a new mold, but also eliminated forever the original mold pattern P.I. scabbards but for those few which were made. Perhaps B.P. can refer or post a photo of them for comparison...
Ah ok, very informative reply there, thanks for the info =)

Next up I plan to collect a Lan-Cay OD, Black and White M9. Maybe a Tan M11 for everyday use.
