Early KA-BAR with USMC Boyt 43 leather sheath/scabbard
Article about: I bought this figuring to trade or sell since I have a USN camillus version but once I started checking it out (as usually happens!) it is probably a keeper! Turns out to be USMC marked shea

Nice set - I'd be inclined to hang onto it as well. I think the 'USMC'
marking on the scabbard has been scratched in by hand, and the
'42' you see is only coincidental, but it's still a cool knife.........

The USMC is stamped but aged/worn. I found some mint examples on ebay which show an asterisk like imprinted border. Mine does not have that.
