Picked this up and wanting to know if this is Original or been messed with.
The black snap on the pocket looks wrong.
The female piece is the same as the Randall snap,so not sure.

I cant find any reference to black snaps in Mr.Wickersham's book or Mr.Hamilton's.

Mr.Peters has a model 14 sheath on ebay that has BOTH snaps in black.
(his was for a Tom Clinton special though)
When I contacted him about it,he couldn't tell me much other than "It's an older model mainline sheath."

I was looking at sending to Sullivan's to have a Randall logo snap fitted,but not sure if I should.

Any and all help much appreciated.[/URL]
 
RMK say it didn't come from the shop like that,therefore altered.
Several collectors and a dealer I contacted also state the same.
However a dealer in florida says,"It is most likely a transition sheath from early '95",
Then goes on to say,"Its looks fine to me ,and I have some in my collection with black snaps."
 
It's not original. Send it to Sullivan's for repair. I had some spare snaps, but sold 'em a few years ago.
 
This sheath left Sullivan's Holster Shop with the black snap, and the Randall Shop installed logo snap when they set the keeper strap for the knife it was paired with. Danny Sullivan will replace the snaps if they bother you like that.
