A blued CASE....NICE!!! :D

 

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.

:D 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

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.

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....

Very worn, but original! Have a look at the sheath! The work of a handyman?!?

Bob, how do you get so many pictures on one send and still stay inside the 150K range?

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
