Greatwhite, this is a 'USN MK I' type. You are correct
though - the scabbard is not original.........

[greatwhite]

thanks, can you tell me anymore about it.

Not really, other than aluminum was needed for other products,
hence the wood pommel - and to say that American cutlery
manufacturers were kept very busy during the war.
They made so many of this type of knife, you can still find
the MK1 today in mint condition - sometimes in original
packaging by certain makers, such as 'PAL'.........
