Nice pick up Gary!

Usually the ones that have that "been there, done that" look have leather handles that are deteriorating badly. This one still looks good.
Congrats,
Ralph.

Thanks for looking Jake and Ralph The shop I dug this out of is one where you have to dig an dig through piles of junk. The dealer told me it was US Marine corps because it had US M on the blade. I tried to tell him what it was but he was set on it being USMC. Gary

If you talk to him again Gary, ask him, if it only has US M on it, what happened to the "C".

Lol - too funny - It's definitely been around, but a nice
blade marked M3........!

( I have a Camillus MKII in a grey VP plastic sheath.
A dealer once tried to tell me that the 'NORD XXX'
code number on the back stood for 'NORAD' ! )
