I am unaware of this word.
Your original comment regarding the scabbard stated that it appeared to be made up of several non matching components and was covered with non original fabric, to which I agree. The slang term "bitser" means literally something made up of non matching parts (a bit of this and a bit of that). Perhaps not used in the USA but commonly used here, to describe anything put together from mixed parts. Also applied to dogs etc. of uncertain mixed breed lineage.
We learn something new each day....
