I need help with this one. Stamped AERIAL CUTLERY CO. Marionette, Wis. Leather stacked handle double pinned pommel. Clip point bright blade unsharpened. About the same size as an M-3. Thanks in advance, Pony.

Pony- I'm inclined to believe these great knives, were made from M3s. Double pinned pommels, smooth handle, reground blades. So Cool! Thanks for showing! SKIP

I have not seen anything yet to contradict M.H. Cole, Book 4, page 93post-66-0-05138000-1434842630.jpg

Pony- I see them on ebay occasionally, they are usually in decent shape, and are reasonably priced. SKIP

Thank You Frank. Any collector value? I can't seem to find where any one of these have sold. Pony.

I think one or both of these naval aviators are wearing Aerial knives but the one on the right sure does seem like a Case

Wish I only paid $3.50 for my Aerial M4 like in Frank's old advertisements. When I started collecting those were the prices collectors faced. Ah the good old days! LOL! SKIP

People tend to list them for $250ish and they normally actually sell in the $150 +- range if in decent condition with scabbard. On any given day u will see a half dozen on eBay.

They are knives that have been carried and used by active duty service personal. This is a reason they can be found in Military reference books such as Cole's and Silvey.
