IMPERIAL

A blade with a true frontline story! We are offering a genuine WWII US M3 Trench Knife manufactured by the sought-after Imperial Knife Co. This is the 1944 "Guard Marked" variation. This knife is a certified "salty" combat veteran—the blade shows honest signs of period field sharpening, and the all-leather stacked handle has developed a deep, hard patina from heavy use. It comes complete with a transitional U.S.M8 fiberglass scabbard (B.M.CO. / Victory Plastics) equipped with an M1910 wire hanger and its original leather leg thong. An excellent, character-rich piece for any WWII US Airborne collector looking for that "been there" look!
