Recently acquired my grandfather's knife he was issued in the US Navy between 1942 and 1945. I know very little about knives and thought I would share its attributes with ya'll and see if there was anything unique about this knife. It is in the original sheath which is made of what feels to be some type of fiberglass / plastic with the belt loop of regular OD webbing. The front of the sheath is stamped:
USN MK 2
The rear of the sheath is stamped:
NORD - 4723
B.M. Co. (subscript 6 with a line over it) -- V (with a star under it) P
Where the handguard meets the blade is stamped:
USN MARK 2
Camillus NY
Anything you fellers might know about this knife would be appreciated.
