June 27, 201214 yr Author #26 Thank you for posting. Is the metal sheath for the 1918 knife inside of the modified 1910 scabbard? Yes, it is inside. With the two bars, that were meant to fix the sheath on the belt, broken off!
August 18, 201213 yr Author #27 It's an addiction......M3 #8, a blade marked and dated one, made by PAL and a Viner Bros. M6 sheath.

December 31, 201213 yr Author #31 Three more knives: A PAL RH37 marked "US NAVY" with a MK II sheath.
February 24, 201313 yr #36 SKYLINE, Very nice knives. I don't know why M-3s are so fascinating. Maybe it's the pictures of the D-Day paratroopers with M-3s strapped to their legs or maybe it's just the knife itself. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Ken
June 22, 201313 yr #39 Another US-1918, this one made by L.F.&C., again the LF&C marked sheath has been field modified! The blackening on the blade as well on the grip has been well preserved. Very interesting, the sheath is made from a USMC depot made sheath cover, early war manufacture. This field modification was probably made by or for a Marine.
June 22, 201313 yr #40 The scabbard is most interesting. I really like it. Doesn't even look used. Very clean. SKIP
June 22, 201313 yr #41 SKYLINE DRIVE- Nice collection! You do realize your addiction to M3s has started. Starts out with "Just one example", Then, "Just one example of every maker". Next it's, I have to own a "blade-dated, "blade marked, and "guard marked", example of every maker. Then it's the groove count, parkerized, and blued versions, dual marked. Not counting M6 scabbards, by maker, M8 scabbard variations. Finally, you go into the upgrade mode, all have to be mint. Be prepared to invest 30-40 years, and countless hours, and dollars. GOOD LUCK!!! SKIP CLASSIC.......Respect Skip for the pain of countless M3 collectors Regards Lloyd
