Here's One I Never Heard Of.

Just cruising through ebay and stumbled on this V42. Ebay #163081092804, starting price $1000. This V42 was made for the "FSSF" by Chicago Precision Co. I have never heard of, or have seen any legit V42s made by anyone but "CASE" in WW2. Have I missed something in my 50+ years of collecting, and studying WW2 knives. If someone could post the ad it would be appreciated. I do not know, or have ever dealt with the seller. Check it out! SKIP

Dave, I would never buy it. But, curious about it, since it's not listed in any known books, or references that I am familiar with. I think I'll try to do a search on the company. SKIP

Replica made circa 1984. I wrote about them over ten years ago, I have it posted on the Reproduction Recognition page as well.
