Wanted --M3 knife with M8 scabbard
Friend of mine is in bad shape and wants to be buried with his Dads M3 knife and hard scabbard that his Dad carried in the Devils Brigade.He has cancer and the docs have given him 6 months.
His wife and older son contacted me to see if I could find one as his was stolen by his younger son and sold on the street for drugs. I could give them the one I have in my collection but it was carried by my Uncle in WW2 and I would like to keep it. I could buy a repro but thought someone might have one lying around that they had no sentimental attachment with and would be willing to sell at a reasonable price. Thanks Dave

Well I gave them mine today and I will find a replacement somewhere.
Would like to get an older one but will probably have to settle for a repro. Dave |

Agreed. It's not the same as one carried by a family member. But it is a beautiful knife.

This is my old bayonet for my M1. I've had it for a long time.
I've read that the fighting knife was issued to soldiers who didn't carry a rifle w/bayonet. [/url]M5 Bayonet |

That Boker looks real nice.
Is the second pic a carbine bayonet? |

But it wasn't issued until 1953 (after the war). It was issued to US troops that were garrisoned at all of the bases in South Korea after the signing of the armistice in Panmunjom. |
