Hi Guys, it is a perfectly original French made knife, nothing wrong with it at all. See how one side of the guard has been cut down to make it fit closer to the hip when worn.
Now for the interesting bit.
I used to own this very knife. What is VERY annoying is that the dealer to whom I sold it has split it from the scabbard. It came in a US M6 leather scabbard. It was purchased back in the very early 1980's for £65 and was a walk in buy from the Vet. The scabbard had his name scratched into the leather on the reverse side "DS Warbrick" and "Anzio 1944". He had also removed the redundant US M1910 hanger and opened up the slits so it would fit onto a 1937 pattern British web belt.
Cheers, Ade.
