italian M 39 OK ?

[Reibert]

Hi, mates !

I try to swap this italian M 39 Italian Army fighting-knife but it´s the first one, I could get.

Maybe you can tell me, if everything is OK with this knife ?

It seems, the scabbard is repainted/new varnished but it also could be, this was wartime-made, but:

The wooden grip-plates are still smelling of wood and are looking polished or even new-made ?
Also I guess, I can see marks of a screw clamp at one of the grip-plates ?).

In the "middle" the handle ist 2,82 cm "strong"
Width at the angle: 2,58 mm; at the "pommel": 2,83 mm

Crossguard 4,2 mm "strong, the lenght: ca. 7cm

Thx. in advance,

Reibert

Interesting piece Reibert , it certainly looks as though the grip has been renewed , but has been nicely done . The scabbard seems to show a lot more wear
