RDUNE Posted March 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2019 Hello all, I picked this up the other day and thought I would post it. I should start by saying edged weapons are not my area at all but I've tried to pick up a knife or bayonet here and there when the opportunity presents itself. The price was right on this one considering the condition and I didn't have an example of an M3 in my collection. I might even be able to put a name with it, I'm still waiting to hear from the seller on that. Definitely not a 'top shelf' example but from what I've been able to find this maker is not as common as others, correct? The leather bits on the handle are loose (and missing) and the tip of the blade is damaged. Any input, opinions or education is appreciated -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDUNE Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted March 16, 2019 Marking on cross guard and pommel. I'll try to post better shots in the daylight. I didn't realize how bad these looked until I resized them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDUNE Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted March 16, 2019 Little bit wider shot of the blade. That's all the photos for now. I'll try to get better shots tomorrow in the sun. Thanks for any input -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted March 17, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 17, 2019 RDUNE- Like you said the knife is a little rough, but RCC blade-dated M3s are pretty rare, very seldom seen on ebay, or anywhere else. On the other hand, the scabbard looks to be in good shape. Thanks for showing! SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted March 17, 2019 Share #7 Posted March 17, 2019 Nice and blade dated. I'd just like to own an M6 sheath. For a while I believe Robeson operated in Rochester, NY which is my neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
