Supposedly this is named to a USMC guy but I don't know the best way to find that out. All I could find was that in 1955 he was selling insurance in Ames.

 

Thought it was neat and the theatre made scabbard is cool too. I have a theatre made knife from Viru with similar stitching on the edges.

I do love these "salty" knives. My father's Navy SeaBee outfit on Guam had some of these Quartermaster knives, but I have no idea how they got them. Dad said they were popular as they were more sturdy and useful than the Mark 1 or Mark 2.

Sturdy yes! Any knife made to pound nails with the butt is a earn yer keep knife. Try that with camillus MK1.:(

Thanks guys..

I'm still trying to find any record of this man's service..

 

I am thinking it may be this guy: ALBERT GEORGE WILHELM S.T.O.L.L.

 

but his grave says nothing about military service and I can't find really anything...

For a moment i thought the posting said "picked up a wife at the flea market" lmao, great looking knife you have there

Heres to finding an original sheath to it, but a great lil blade just the same :)

Thanks, but I like the sheath! Looks like it was used so much the sheath probably wore out.

 

If anyone has any ideas on finding out about the man's service I'm all ears.

Thank you for this info... I guess the person didn't have to be from Ames originally?
