M3 Imperial and trench art pickup

[173herd]

I picked these up from a couple of vets that had them for sale at our club.
The M3 Imperial shows use and has the vet's name on the back of the
scabbard..The trench art knife is from the Korean War era and sports
a handle made from a .50 caliber spent round on an M5A1 blade. The
scabbard may not be original as it fits my M1 Carbine like a glove. All
comments are welcomed. Rich

That's a couple of nice knives
That M3 looks to be in pretty good condition.

My nephew is a very proud former member of the Herd.

I forgot to mention what I paid for each but after some research I think that I did ok on the Imperial. I assumed the scabbard was original to the knife
since I know the fellow that I purchased it from. It also has a leather thong attatched..I paid $75. The trench art knife was put together by the vet after
he returned home. The blade is stamped Mil Par Co. I gave him $50. I usually do my homework but since I knew these guys I gave them what they asked.

For $125, I think you did real well.

If you bought the M3 recently, you got a really
good deal on it........!
