WW2 ANACONDA KNIFE; Super Rare Knife; Made in USA

Up for sale is a very rare WW2 knife. I have come across different stories regarding the history of these Anaconda knives.  I place most credence is discussion string I found on a military forum at ...

https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/29619-ww2-anaconda-fighting-knife/

"Knives were made by employees of the Montana Power Company. The blades were ground at the Black Eagle Power Plant and the handles were cast at the old street car facility in Great Falls. All materials were donated or scrounged to keep the cost down, you see the price to the servicemen was free. All the knives made by the Montana Power Company employees were given to servicemen passing through the area on the troop trains, not just company employees. From the best recollections they made about 1200 knives and took them all to the troop trains stopping in Montana and gave them all away."

The blade on this knife is in very good condition.  The handle, which is aluminum, displays pitting (see photos).  I do not know if some of this pitting is from rough casting at the time the knife was produced, or if exposure to ??? might have caused the pitting.

The knife comes with what appears to be its original sheath, based on photos I have seen of other Anaconda knives online.

It is difficult to place a valuation on this knife due to the scarcity of the knife and the lack of sales.  I did come across one that was sold by St. Croix Blades on Ebay a few month ago for $975, but can no longer find that Ebay sale in my search terms.  Perhaps it is now reflected on Worthpoint...a source I do not subscribe to.

Please perform your own research prior to bidding.  Also, please review all photos as they are an integral part of the description of this item.

I accept only US Postal Service money orders AND PayPal “friends and family” as means of payment.  You can review my Ebay feedback...with over 500 positive reviews (100%)...by accessing "mudflatdan1456" on the Ebay "advanced search" web link.  I am happy to speak with interested individuals about this and my other knives by telephone should you have any questions…or wish to acquire my PayPal information to purchase a knife.  Send me an email with your contact information and I will get back to you.
