Now I think that might actually be the original sheath that came with that knife.  I did some research on the internet today.  That LM logo was the logo for Line Materials Industries.  They made electrical equipment including street lights.  Never had any thing to do with manufacturing knives.  In 1957 they were a division of McGraw-Edison.  In 1967 they were consolidated under the McGraw-Edison name.  After 1967 there was no Line Materials Industries.  So this sheath was no later than 1967.  I am thinking the R. A. is probably someone's initials.  Since the sheath fits the knife perfectly like it was made for it, I wonder if the company might have presented this knife and sheath to employees or maybe just one employee?  While I was with TVA, I received a Schrade scrimshawed two knife set as a tenth anniversary service award and a single knife that was presented to every member of my work group as a safety award.  So that type of thing did happen.
