	Aluminum Scabbards? Not likely any exist, but .... 'be lookin' As Gen. Flagler said to his nephew, Benjamin: " ..... aluminum is overrated, .... plastics my boy, plastics".

	It appears the meat can cover was part of the mess kit. Why not use a cooking cover for digging yourself a trench. Then make supper using it as a lid? Very resourceful, no? See item #311796973232 on Ebay.

	Advertised on the IMA website: *Original U.S. Indian Wars Pattern 1874 Meat Cans Mess Kits - 3rd Type* Seems kind of fragile but I guess in a pinch...
