JimD Posted March 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2020 I picked up these two bayonet/knives recently: came from a retired Marine Officer. I do not know more than that about the Marine because they came from a picker. To bad though. Both are near un-issued but I wonder if anyone can tell me about the commemorative one. I initially found some information online that it was a run of 500 but I cannot seem to find that source of information again. I am not a big fan of "commemorative” items but this one intrigues me. Thanks in advance. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rifledoc1 Posted March 16, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 16, 2020 Since the OKC3S is readily available in the commercial market, to include being sold in Marine Corps Exchanges, my guess is this was a private purchase that was then engraved with the popular quote. Possibly a gift for a retirement, promotion, or other significant event or milestone. I have seen this done a number of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
