Rare WW2 US M3 Fighting Knife, Blade Dated

A rare example of the early pattern M3 fighting knife with dated blade, made by Case (W.R.Case & Sons) who produced a total of 300,465 knives (all variants) between 1943-45.
Good firm blade with an age related patina, leather washer constructed grip ( still tight/ no movement), slight play in cross guard which is very common on M3's due to leather shrinkage, pommel stamped with small ordnance mark (bomb).
The knife is sheathed in an early M6 leather scabbard made by Milsco which is also dated 1943.
Now a rarely encountered pattern and a good investment piece.
Sorry Mainland UK Sale ONLY and proof of age will be required (18+).
Please note that this item can only be dispatched after receiving passport ID.
