Thank you Moss and Dimitri....I do have sheaths for two that are original, the other I'm not sure.

It seem's that leather sheath's from this era have not held up well....but I'm glad the knives have.... :)

Just found out this CASE was a WWII issue survival knife....
It's missing the ingredients inside the handle and the compass in the cap.

Scott:
You are one lucky guy. I have never even seen one. I think it was a match safe and for fish hooks etc., in the handle. Probably wrong. happens a lot these days. The nomenclature is 309 Survival Knife.

A lady was on Antiques Roadshow from Tulsa Monday evening with a Camillus USMC Raider stiletto.

Very nice condition with a nearly full, very legible etch.

The program can be viewed on-line at PBS.org. I think the knife makes its appearance at about 25:50 in the video.

Be prepared to deal with long, non-skippable commercials.

A nice pair of Robesons Mk 1, navy marked knives.

One is as new as issued, one a theater modification.

I'm thinking the wooden butt was easy to break.

Truly a nice collection, The Bayo sans connector is more than likely a parade piece. I always thought thoe big colonials were pilots bailout knives. Thanks for the info.

You could be right as to the bail out knife description;my mind isn't working very well this week.It seems to me that I was told by a friend of mine who was a big military arms collector that it was a fireman's knife but that was about 30 years ago when I got it so he could have been in error as well.

Nice knives but the Kinfolks has been blued by somebody other than the factory.

Hey Dmitri, are you coming to Mystic? I will have a lot of great WW2 knives for sale there, hope you make it this year!! They will have 8" tables finally so I will have an even better selection of old knives than in the past.

Here is one I have never seen. It is marked Kennedy Bros Arms Co. I think it is rare. It is not mine. It belongs to a friend that won it at an estate auction we attended yesterday.

Thanks for the information Moss. He never sells anything. He collects ww2 memorabilia. I will tell him that you are interested. He would be more inclined to trade. But I have no idea what he wants.

Some new additions, USN Mark 1.

Robeson blue blade and aluminum pommel, may be a early war issue.

H.Boker, don't know much about these, have not seen many.

KaBar Fighting/Utility with 6" flat grind blade.
