Bought this from a local kid who inherited and was selling all his Grandpa's military stuff. According to him, his Grandpa carried it in WW-2. [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t249/Fatstrat59/IMAG0244_zpse099ea01.jpg][/img]

nice job

Having said that, you did a great job restoring it.[:)]
I take it the grandson didn't have enough respect to see it for what it truly was, or was he more concerned about it's monetary value?

Why, though? I just can't wrap my mind around selling things like that, even if some of it is valuable. To me, that's family heirloom material.
That is defineatly the incorrect time period sheath for the knife
Yeah, just one I had on hand. IMO OK for this knife. Altho the USMC stamp on blade hilt is present, it had been partially ground off and is only partly visible.
