there is a good chance this is a worthless modified tool, but as I'm using it now to split kindling for the fire place, thought I better check, before I possibly do damage to it...
wood scales, USMC stamped at the base of the blade, very heavy steel 5/16" or possibly a couple .001's thicker... blade is approximately 14" or so long, & 2.5 or so inches tall, with a rounded tip, with the edge that wraps around to the top & extends on the top for 2-2.5" it has lanyard holes at the base of the grip
it was in my FIL's butchering tools, which is why I think it may have been modified for his use to split brisket...
will try to get a pic soon, but does this sound like anything in that was out there in it's unmodified form, to where it would have collector value, or has it been modified, to where it's just a good tool now ???
