rnkjr1957 Posted December 17, 2023 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2023 I picked this up last week. The spacers look like leather with a gloss coating (partially flaked away). I looked at it with my 10x loupe and it still looks like leather. Has anyone seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted December 17, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2023 rnkjr1957- They are correct brown spacers for a late 6 groove leather handled Imperial M3. The peening on the pommel is correct, and not been messed with. It's a good one. The spacers were made from "bakelite" the plastic of it's day, and they can deteriorate slightly over time, which is the cause of the flaking.
