doyler Posted February 6, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 6, 2016 Its a correct WW2 knife.Typical and commonly issued USN Mk1.This one is in its packaging as issued or recieved from the maufacturer. You should have no worries or concerns on the originality of this knife.The PAL marking is typically on the blade with the RH35 designation as well.

sactroop Posted February 6, 2016 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2016 Good chance your knife and this one I have shared close company for a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WX555571 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks guys- and thanks Sactroop for posting yours - could you show a close up of the stamps on the blade please? Are the coloured rings in the grip indicative of Pal manufacture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw517 Posted February 6, 2016 Share #9 Posted February 6, 2016 They used different color spacers but I've never read if they are a give away to the period of manufacture. Maybe someone else knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactroop Posted February 6, 2016 Share #10 Posted February 6, 2016 What happened with things like spacers will vary from one manufacture to another, and sometimes the details are lost to time. Hopefully someone here has the info regarding PAL. I"m also sure your knife is a PAL 35. Here's the close ups. If the markings on your knife are different when it arrives I'd like to hear.

WX555571 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share #12 Posted February 6, 2016 This is one I currently have and you can see why I wanted to upgrade to the unissued one. As you can see it is marked like the other posted here and the rings are the same color; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
