Catfishcraig Posted April 1, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2015 This WWII USMC KABAR recently sold on EBay, It has a thin peened pummel. I've only seen this pommel variant associated with a red spacer at the top. This one has no red spacer. After the red spacers the next variant I've seen had a thick peened pommel. I'm thinking this one may have been a very shortly made version with older parts? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKIPH Posted April 1, 2015 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2015 Suspect Ka-Bar was just using up parts. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byf41 Posted April 1, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2015 Grip looks a bit short to me . Im thinking the pommel broke off and they removed the guard/pommel spacers , maybe a few leather washers , and reassembled it . JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted April 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 1, 2015 yeah the end kind of looks messed with, even for being polished. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell without the knife in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
