USMC raider stiletto / green horn Bowie

[4thraiders]

Any advice on where to acquire a sheath for my recent marine raider pickup?

 

 

Also if whats a good estimate on this green horn Bowie camillus?

 

No ties to a unit or person as it was a random find. Thanks

Nice finds! Don't think that Camillus has any connection to the Bowie. Interesting that both blades have a history for their handles not aging too well, yet both of yours look pretty darn good. Hunting for the correct sheath for the stiletto could be tough. They look a lot like the M6 sheaths for the early M3 fighting knife, but are not exactly alike.

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

 

I figured itd be hard or Id have to buy another and then sell whichever stiletto I didnt want to keep.

 

As far as the bowie goes, is there anyway of knowing If maybe it was issued to the marines or even used in WW2? No serial number on it

Finding a sheath alone will be tough but not impossible, be patient.

 

No way to tell where that Collins No 18 machete has been. They made them for many years both before and after the war. Good looking one with the bright green grips.
