Greg Robinson Posted December 29, 2006 #1 Posted December 29, 2006 Anybody got any blade marked M3's they want to show off?
Gregory Posted January 4, 2007 #2 Posted January 4, 2007 Hello Greg My two cents but one knife Best regards G.
Greg Robinson Posted January 4, 2007 Author #3 Posted January 4, 2007 A blued CASE....NICE!!! I sold off most of my M3's but kept this one as a good example of a blade marked version. It has nice deeply struck markings and I couldn't bear to part with it.
Gregory Posted January 4, 2007 #4 Posted January 4, 2007 A blued CASE....NICE!!! Your mint specimen excellent as well, like manufactured yesterday. BTW -- from today's perspective is blued Case M3 more rare than parkerized one? Does anybody know the proportions between blued and parkerized runs of the Case-made M3s? Best regards G.

High gloss blued M3's are much rarer than their parkerized counterparts. How much rarer? I doubt anybody can give you an exact figure. But with your knife it's already a CASE and there's somebody about CASE knives that attract collectors.

glenm Posted January 9, 2007 #10 Posted January 9, 2007 Yet another Case 1943 blade-marked M3 with M6 scabbard. Might not be mint, but there again it was only £60 for the set when they were costing £250+ everywhere else.... Cheers, Glen.

Loek Posted October 1, 2007 #13 Posted October 1, 2007 M3 case, blade marked but with a "strange" handle. I saw it before but was this knife used in the ETO?

Costa Posted November 19, 2007 #21 Posted November 19, 2007 guys--- a word of caution, never store you blades in the scabboards. if there is dampness or moisture they will rust.
Badger Posted August 18, 2008 #22 Posted August 18, 2008 Two blade marked (without date) U.S. M-3: PAL with BARWOOD M-6 sheath, & IMPERIAL with M-8 sheath. Hi Guys sorry to but in on this discussion, pleasre forgive me, I am new to forum( also com.) and could not find how to post question!! I am an F-S collector, not dealer, in England(over 100) mainly WW2 issue. However I have started collecting M-3s (nice knife) I have just picked up a Robeson Cutlery knive which is in dire nedd of some TLC AND a COMPLETE SET OF HANDLE WASHERS, is there anywhere you know I can get them, do they come in a ready made set, do I need to "cut" them down or "profile" them to fit?? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, onec again my apologied for this way of asking. I supposed I will either get my arse kicked now or advised as to the best way of 'posting' a question. Thanks badger
