Hello,
Borrowed this knife from my friend along with a couple medals posted in the medals forum. This is a proto-type knife made during WW2 and is one of two known to exist, the other is in the springfield museum. This one is numbered 3 on the pommel and on the scabbord, intersting note is the other one does not have a scabbord. I'll have more pics later.

Thanks Joe, this is the same knife that is pictured in Coles second book, not sure what page it is on.

very cool~!
this would have been a great morale booster to the US troops!

Thanks Jerry. Here is a pic of the pommel with the number 3. I'm really amazed this post hasn't gotten more traffic, this knife is jsut as rare as a SA FHH dagger. I'm just supprised.

fritz;
it really is a great knife.
Maybe Knuckledusters are just not morally correct nowadays.
I have a few in my collection but not that one.

Nice pile of knucks there Pablo!

I don't think anyone has that M-1 one in their collection! (and if that one serial #3, and the other is in the museum, then there is still at least one out there somewhere!)

What is cool about that one is it was still designed to function as a bayonet, what a wicked design. Looks like the blade was specifically designed for the piece too. Very very cool...

**ank* for po***ng fr**z***, **a*'* a very cool and rare kn*fe.

U**... ok? Anyone know w*a* **e *ell ** go*ng on w*** my la** me**age **ere?

Tyrel,
Not sure what the heck is going on with your last two posts? I'll have to look into it or let Dave know.

moral majority's censor****,perhaps?

Check your browser and keyboard. That's not being generated by the site. Could be a locked "Ctrl" key on your keyboard or a liquid spill

W*w! Th* sc*ry th*ng is th*t I un*ers*and wh*t Ty**l is s*yin*!

I've posted elsewhere since and everything was ok.. no idea what was happening there. Maybe the censor thought that the letters t,h,s,i were verboten!

In any case, let me say it again fritziii, nice knife!

Glad you undersood Denny, often times I wonder if anyone understands what im saying when its not jumbled!

Tyrel

Can anyone here get me in contact with the curator at the sprinfield armory museum? I would like to get some more info on this knife if possible for my friend.

Fritzii,

If you have not an answer by this time, shoot me an e-mail and I will get it for you.
