Double dated ASW

I’ve not seen that before on a 42/43. Pretty neat.

Does the scabbard have some kind of thick silver paint on it? The 3 looks like its from the numeral die set used in 42. Not the same 3 used for the maker in 43. Will have to keep an eye out for other early 43 dates.

That's a nice overstamped piece. I only have a mismatched 43 asw in an 43asw scabbard that I sent pics of.It's the serial number of the scabbard that had me wondering what the first character was. I didn't know if it was a C or a broken 0 stamp. What are your thoughts? Also the suffix.

Typical wrongly stamped zero, nothing strange more time could be this observed. 0810 w.
here is not visible both zeros on end of die, it was done by serial mashine and Hoerster is the largest producer, by 0xxx serials is sometimes visible the one side of stamp was not good stamped.
