    Certainly not German Third Reich.

    Crocodile Dundee's perhaps...? Then again, it probably isn't big enough for him. ("That's not a knife...THIS is a knife!")

    Joking aside, I'm sure that somebody will be along soon enough with an I.D. for you Matt, but I must agree with Ade, this one is not Third Reich.

    Looks like it could be home made.

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    WWII 'Theater made' knife, fashioned from a sword blade - possibly a 'Patton' saber.

    It was common for American soldiers and seamen to make/re-work knives from
    old or obsolete sword blades. Some companies or individuals in the States
    even produced sword-blade knives for sale, but not with ornate grips
    like this. The association with a US Marine fits perfectly, IMO.

    ( The knife's pommel and the attachment on the end of the scabbard
    is called a Turkish, or 'Turks Head' knot. )


    This is a beautiful example.........
