Opinions, comments, speculations.....

At least he didn't list it as "STERILE"

Old and worn.  The sheath has been repainted and is not WW2 vintage, which means the webbing on this sheath needs some explaining.  Don't like not seeing the markings either for the knife or the front of the sheath frog.

With what we see M3's going for today I wouldn't say the asking price is insane by a long shot.  But at best this could only be considered a place keeper.  IMHO, in this case any potential buyer needs to ask themselves one question, " Do you feel lucky?".

I am seriously on the fence with this one....

Why does he not show the maker?

[Boy Howdy]

He said they were "worn off".

Hey gang! Based on the location of the Ordinance Bomb, and the back cut of the blade, I say this is a Utica M3.  SKIP
