Attached are a few Ka-Bars, i.e. type 37 utility/fighting knives we have hanging around the basement. If any of you fella's have any questions or comments both me and my partner in crime (P.I.C.) would be glad to entertain-SDH/P.I.C.

You look to be the guy to ask here.

Early riveted scabbards that have partial or no liners between the front and rear are considered very early and bring a premimum, HTH-SDH
