Buck 124 Frontiersman sheath

[topgun03]

I’m searching for a period correct flap over sheath for a 1969/1970 124. What characteristics should I be looking for to make sure I get a period correct sheath? Thanks

I can't answer your question, but I'm looking for the same sheath!

Thank you very much.

I’ll probably never find one but I look forward to looking.

Skyler, a very nice example sheath. My notes have that one coming earlier. The sheath mine came with was the swivel sheath.
Topgun, welcome to the Buck forum. What stamp is on your 124? DM

Two line Buck USA

The information I gathered from the Buck collectors club news letters was the swinging sheath started in 1971 with the new micarta handle and three line stamp

I took the time and dug mine out and sure enough it is a inverted, 3 line stamp, with snoopy, swivel sheath and lanyard hole.
Sometimes I run across those sheaths at shows. A vendor had one at the October show. I cannot recall the details as I didn't handle it.
He's in another state and I think I may be able to locate his number. Let me know if you want me to pursue this. DM

If you’re willing to look into it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Nice early 124 sheath Skyler. I would put you sheath a smidge earlier than the knife shown by the OP.

Can you elaborate on what differences I need to look for to get a correct vintage sheath for my knife? Thanks

The one like skyler posted. You'll be lucky to ever get one in a decent condition. But you never know. DM

10-4, if you do happen to come across one or know where I might find one I’m absolutely interested. Thanks

Do you have a hidden or full tang 124?

 

[David Martin]

From his photo, it looks like his is a hidden tang model. 1969-70, with a lanyard hole I would think it's a Nemo. DM

 

[topgun03]

Hidden tang.

 

[David Martin]

It looks like the belt loop on the sheath is pinned. Thus, not a swivel sheath. A handsome Nemo, in great condition. DM

I believe this sheath is slightly newer than the knife and is a replacement

It has to be stamped 122 or have the plastic sheath to technically be a nemo. Yeah that's a replacement. Check your page I have one I'd sell.
