I'll do that. My Kabar collection is quite small however. I only have two originals. I'm more into bayonets than knives.

Why, you have a thick pommel, peened...! The new center one looks serviceable. After three months of field time it would look like the rest I think. Looks good. Here's mine, much like yours...

Nice, yours looks almost unissued. Love the color of the handle.

In 1978 I was with Recon Pl of my Battalion...and found myself on the USS Alamo(another story). In the next compartment were the SEALs. A close friend of mine went in there and came back with one of these for nothing, so I dove in and asked "Who done it?" When the young SEAL came forward I all but demanded one, he asked what I'd trade? I said since the last guy got one for nothing I wanted one too... Well one of them asked another guy if he had one and he'd replace it later. So it went. It turned out they bought them from QM at a rate of $1 USD ea, and the box contained a baker's dozen. When the knife was rusted up or unusable, they simply threw them overboard... This one has seem no use while I owned it. It was the third one I've had. WW2 marked knife from what I glean and Victory Plastics scabbard...nice...not worth a lot around these parts so I guess I'll just keep it.
