Description: | Scabbard for dirk alleged to have belonged to Lieutenant John Samuel Smith (died circa 1840). The brown leather scabbard is sewn into a short point and has two steel lockets. The top locket is decorated with horizontal lines and is fitted with a frog button at its tip. The mid locket is similarly decorated and is fitted with a small steel loop on its trailing edge, which is to take a suspension ring. No chape is fitted. The proportions of the scabbard are strongly indicative that it has been shortened.
