Nice pic. On the blade I think it is not USGI and is most likely a private purchase knife. On magnification it appears to me to have a blade fuller and a square pommel. That suggests to me one of the pre-war 5 or 6 inch blade Union Cutlery made sheath knives.

 

Hope this helps you.

Charlie thanks for answer. I attach more detailed scan of the knife in detail.
