Got da Penny Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share #16 Posted July 25, 2007 Nice scores! Who is the maker of your M3 knife and is possible to get a picture of the maker's stamp? Thanks. I think this was surplused, because the Ordnance Bomb is "Dotted out" but still legible on the buttplate. the maker is "buffed out" on the crossguard also. Looks like a faint "Imperial" under the USM3 stamp. I will post pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo shows a great closeup of the texture.. Def Sand style. the difference is the OD color. its definitely not Nam period. its Darker more like the WW2 lids.

sgtdorango Posted July 26, 2007 Share #19 Posted July 26, 2007 The pot looks Korean war vintage....very nice, the metal fittings that clamp the chin strap to the bales are OD painted , Nam ones are normally black....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got da Penny Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted August 21, 2007 What is THIS..?? Looks like half of a collar disc. Armored with INFANTRY ..?? and an ID Bracelet. any info on this guy.??? Plus a Model 1905e UFH 1942 Cutdown. Thanks Carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted August 22, 2007 Share #22 Posted August 22, 2007 What you have with the crossed rifles and the tank is an enlisted design for Infantry (Tanks). This short lived device was approved in March of 1922 and lasted until August of 1933. All you need is the square centered disc and the two pronged nut that holds the device in place on the collar and it is complete. I think all the tread heads here would be on top of it as I have not seen one before in 20 + years of collecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
