pconrad02 Posted April 26, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2007 Help! This came out of the estate of a carieer Air Force Officer, here is the description provided by the family member: It is that greenish-black color, its 7 1/2" long, the blade is just 2 3/4" long, is not sharp except for the tip. The part with the ring has a push pull thing, comes out, leaving just a narrow hollow chamber - for some- thing?? It's heavy, weighs about 1.5 lbs. Anyone?? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
