Greg Robinson Posted December 31, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2006 Along with their M4 Camillus Cutlery also made an M3 trench knife. The good news is the single pin retaining the pommel is a dead giveaway that it's a repro. The only one of these I've personally seen is their "guard marked" version. I think they also made a repro "blade mark" M3 and not sure how they are constructed And they made a reproduction of their WW2 USMC 1219C2 knife. As with the KA-BAR repro the scabbard is wrong. Also, there are enough features of construction that vary from the WW2 originals that they can be spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRA227 Posted January 2, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2007 My copy blade marked M-3. Had this from the release date. When they sold them to the wholesalers(S.W.I.,ect.). When I ordered them for the store I ordered a extra for myself. I did not want a M-4.I carried this from that time. It is used by me when we go floating down the river on old truck innertubes or when white water rafting. The scabbard is a copy. Sorry for the large file size. Rich A.
