Just weeding out some blades I have a few knives that were inherited but I'm trying to consolidate. Is this knife look authentic and if so what would be proper pricing for this condition? Thanks
Is this blade look authentic? If it is can you tell me pricing? Rough condition?

Not alot of value there RRA due to the condition of the blade and the absence of all the black paint that was once on the scabbard.
Its nothing that I would pay for and I cant give a value on something that doesnt have any. Sorry Bud

As Larry said no collecting value
The blade has a tip now and that is not the way they were factory issued.
They have a blunt tip
So not only paint is gone but blade has been sharpened

In good order it would have had a decent value but as the guys have already said, somebody has made an awful mess of this item and destroyed any real collection value.
Maybe someone who is a knife enthusiast rather than a militaria collector might see it as a restoration project but that will not restore the intrinsic value of a good piece and for that to happen anyway I would think you will have to practically give it away.
Sorry.

Value is a relative term. True it has no "collectors value", for the ardent collector who has disposable income. But for a hard working 15-year-old kid who mows lawns for money and wants to start a collection on limited funds... this is a keeper. Not saying other comments are wrong. Just a different perspective.
