2 - Imperial1 - BOC1 - Milpar1 - Conetta
CONETTA:Produced approximately 130,000 M7's during the war and went out of business shortly before the end of the sixties.
BOC:Is by far the producer of the majority of Vietnam War M7's with approximately 1.8 million delivered by them during the war.
IMPERIAL:Received a government contract in 1973 and produced approximately 350,000 in that year.
MILPAR:It was believedthat MILPAR was the first non-Colt government contract for M7 production and began in early 1964. From 1964-1967 MILPAR delivered approximately 650,000 M7's.U.S.M8A1 Scabbards
3 - PWH1 - V.P. Co1 - TWB
Victory Plastics Co.Victory Plastics had another contract in 1961, using the metal tip protector on the body. These also are marked V.P.CO. on the throat, and DOT . DOT on the male glove fastener.
PWH:PWH According to various sources, including a now retired owner of a surplus company during the 1960s and 70s, this was the Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind.So far I have been able to find little solid information on this contract.During the Vietnam War period a lot of military gear was produced by various companies that worked with the blind,so this is certainly in line with that policy. If this is the case, it is quite likely that PWH only assembled the components and packaged the scabbards as the prime contractor, with the actual parts being supplied on sub-contract.
TWB:The only information that I have on this maker is from the retired surplus dealer mentioned earlier.He stated that he bought "overruns" of the M8A1 scabbard for sale in his business for several years from PWH, and that in the 1970s theychanged their name to The Working Blind,and the scabbards were then marked T W B. Other than the information he supplied, I have located nothing about this marking. Although not rare, the TWB marked scabbard is uncommon.
