olivedrab1970 Posted January 22, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2020 Looks to be a later style with the markings on the hand guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedon Posted January 22, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 22, 2020 Is it chrome plated? Camillus did make a chrome plated guard marked USMC version during WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerick1450 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted January 22, 2020 From what I can see, it appears to be chrome plated.. Original ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedon Posted January 22, 2020 Share #10 Posted January 22, 2020 Yes, I think it is original WWII. See Bill Walters book, page 393. From Frank Trzaska' January 2006 Knife World article "The USMC 1219C2 Of WWII, Part 2": "They made the guard marked chrome plated knives for the Naval Advanced Base units.....".
