8/15/18 - This is an original US M3 fighting knife made by Imperial in 1943 for use during WW2. The knife comes with a beautiful original US M6 leather scabbard. The scabbard has normal wear but is completely in tact and original. Made by Barwood. Barwood scabbards are uncommon and often sought out by collectors. The blade has a leather handle, is ordnance stamped on the pommel, and has light surface wear. Some of the finish is worn off, and there are light signs of use, but no signs of sharpening. Guaranteed original and authentic.
