Barr Bros. WWII

[EnfCol]

My father (86 years old) is a WWII Navy Pacific PT Veteran. When he was stationed at Treasure Island in San Francisco for Schooling in 1943 he went to Barr Brothers and purchased a combat knife they were making and selling to Marines and Naval Personnel ONLY. He believes he paid the expensive sum of $25.00 for this knife manufactured from steel automotive leaf springs for the blades with leather washer handle and an aluminum cap.

I haven't ever seen any other Barr Brothers knife other than Dad's and always found it very interesting as I was growing up. Dad still keeps it razor sharp and uses it around the house these days killing dandy-lions and rope.
