Hello: I got this knife as part of a trade. I think it is an original. My Question is it real or a reproduction? Also if it is real from what era would it be from? Also any idea on its value would be appreciated. Thanks in advance and stay safe, KC
Beautiful original 2nd pattern knife - scabbard is original and is a fine example -
1942/3 - $600-$800 (perhaps more if you get lucky.)
The etches were often not perfectly centered - I like everything about this one.
