M3 Fighting Knife With No Grooves in the Handle
Hello,
I recently acquired an M3 fighting knife, blade-marked US M3 UC 1943, but the strange thing is that the leather washer handle has no grooves at all. The end of the pommel is stamped with the flaming bomb, and has two pins securing it to the tang. It does not look like it has been messed with, but is definitely vintage. I cant find any pictures of a similar no grooved handle M3 on the net. Has anyone seen such an M3 knife before? Is my knife legit?
