Mess kit knife..
Yes, it is an American WW1 mess kit knife made by Rock Island Armory in 1917. What about the three letter over stamp????
Civilian Conservation Corps. My grandfather and most of his brothers were in it during the depression. When WW2 came along they either volunteered for military service or, like my grandfather went to work in local factories that turned out goods to support the war effort.
CORRECT!!!!!
