WWII US Army Boyt 1943 Leather BAR M1918A2 Transit Carrying Case Scabbard Mint. Up for auction/sale is an exceptionally clean, authentic World War II rigid leather transit/carrying case for the M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). This heavy-duty scabbard was originally produced for vehicular transport (Jeeps, armored cars, trucks) to safeguard the BAR during movement.Markings:
The end cap features a beautifully crisp, deeply struck factory stamp:D-6065 / BOYT / -43-. The lettering and date are 100% legible, making this an ideal piece for advanced militaria displays.Condition Details:

• Leather:In remarkable, top-tier condition. The vegetable-tanned leather retains a beautiful, uniform honey-brown patina. Unlike most surviving examples, it is completely free of deep gouges, dry rot, structural warping, or heavy surface cracking. The leather remains stiff, rigid, and holds its original factory profile perfectly.
• Hardware & Straps:The original leather carrying handle is fully intact and structurally sound. The side closure strap and metal stud function as intended. There is a light, natural green verdigris buildup on the brass hardware loops, which has been left untouched to preserve its uncleaned, historical originality.
• Internal Note:Please note that this casedoes not contain the internal steel reinforcement plates. Because the leather is in such pristine, unmarred condition without the plates, this piece likely represents unissued old-stock or a factory variant left unfinished as production wound down.

This is a beautiful, investment-grade display piece perfect for pairing with an original BAR, a parts kit build, or adding to a high-end WWII field gear collection.
