I'm new around here, so please let me know if there are too many photo's here. We picked this up at a Jersey Shore garage sale a couple of years ago. Asked if they had anything military related and the guy runs down to his cellar and comes out about 10 minutes later with this knife. It's rough, but very cool. The Austin Carr name is etched into both sides, although one side is only visible when held at an angle in the sunlight. A quick search on Austin Carr reveals he was in the NY 82nd Infantry Regiment and author of a published diary. Of course, I don't think there is any way to substantiate this name, but it's still cool anyway!
