You are offerding on an excellent RARE WW2 U.S. MS TRENCH FIGHTING KNIFE manufactured by ROBESON CUTLERY.The US M3 Trench Knife was 1st developed in 1943 and was manufactured by 9 different knife companies in 1943 & 1944 with a total production of 2,590,240 knives. The company (Robeson Cutlery Co)that produced this knife had the 2nd smallest production of only 36,575 knives. It is Blade Marked (U.S.M3 R.C.CO. 1943). The earliest M3 knives produced (1st Variation) had “US M3”, the Producer and Date stamped on them. Shortly after production started it was thought stamping the blades weakened them, so the stamping was moved to the Guard. These early Blade Stamped & Dated Knives are hard to find and collectors seek them out. The eight groove leather handle is very tight and in great condition. The blade has a beautiful original patina and is in near MINT condition. I believe the blade has its original edge and the blade has a few minimal use marks. The knife is 11 3/8\" overall. It has the crossed cannons stamp under the guard but it is barely noticeable. A wonderful addition to your collection--in COLLECTOR\'S condition.
