Modification Description: Field-modified handleBrand: IMPERIAL
Modified Item: Yes
Original Description:
Original WW2 era M3 Fighting Knife (AKA Trench Knife) manufactured by Imperial Cutlery; an early blade-marked type with an unusual hand-made wood handle. Comes with original M8A1 composition scabbard in excellent condition. This M3 is about 11-5/8” / 29.5 cm overall; the blade is about 6-3/4" /17 cm. The blade is RAZOR-sharp with no edge nicks; the tip is intact. Minor pitting is noted for accuracy. Split wood handle is obviously not original to the knife; looks like a field-expedie...nt fix to me. Original iron guard and hammer-like pommel marked with a "flaming ball" arsenal acceptance mark; all parts are tight with no play. Original M8A1 scabbard was made by Beckwith Manufacturing Company - a division of Victory Plastics. All original parts are intact; top plate underside is marked B4/9N.
