hatchetdan Posted October 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2020 Estate sale find the other day, straight guard , 3rd gen? no markings on the sheath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted October 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2020 It looks like a legit either post war, or PX version. Note the US & M3 are stamped out. It also has the commercial type leather sheath. What I have never seen on a CASE straight guard before is a grooved handle, usually they are smooth. So, this one is something of a rarity. How many grooves does it have?

mikedon Posted October 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 17, 2020 My Case straight guard M3. It is the same as the one shown on page 45 of Bill Walters M3 book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchetdan Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted October 17, 2020 My sheath is just like yours, rivet location and all, but poor condition, so ... is this a rare one of a kind m-3 worth 10.000 dollars?😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
