Obtained from a WW2 vet in 1970 he retired from the Army. 1966, this is the cleanest I have seen in 50 years! leather is nice & blade looks like it was never sharpened, the cotton sheath back strap is a little dark from being belt mounted, snaps are intact, fiber sheath is not cracked still has green finish, has a raw hide strip on bottom of sheath, (Note sheath does not have the later metal sheath TIP ) Photos does not show how nice the set is!
