US M3 PAL Blade Fighting Knife & M6 Scabbard

Description

4/18/19 - This is an original US M3 fighting knife, blade stamped variation, PAL fighting knife. The blade is maker stamped "PAL" along with "U.S. M3". The markings are distinct and 100% original. The blade has some dark discoloration throughout but this is honest wear from aging and use. The blade doesn't appear to be sharpened but it has been used. The handle has is tight and secure, and again there's signs of use and handling, but overall the grip is intact. There's a faint US flaming bomb ordnance stamp on the pommel. The leather scabbard is in great condition with a faint flaming bomb stamp on the front.  Leather is very nice with no major issues. The top of the scabbard has been slightly cut down (GI's often did this). Stitching and rivets are completely intact.
