    I love Craigslist sometimes. $15 for a WW2 Kinfolks:party29:

    Blade has the original edge , sheath is a lil dry but it will go nice with the rest of the WW2 family.

    Lol ty for the offer but it has made itself quite comfortable with the rest of the family of WWII knives and bayonets. Ill try and get them all out and put up a few pics of the collection this weekend .

    They are getting harder to come by from that era . Hell even if you find them at the flea markets now they want mint prices for pretty banged up peices.

    There is a guy at the north point flea market that has quiet a few but he wants too much for the condition they are in . Ive bought a few old Case folders from him for decent prices though.

    Dad stole it for a day and put something on the sheath for me .It isnt as dry now and those cracks arent as bad as they look in the pic. I was buying alot off of ebay for awhile then everyone caught on lol . prices went way up . The deals are out there ya just have to keep hunting around , I usualy hit yard sales on the weekends .

    Here it is .The Army ordered 4,696 pistols at the end of 1939 where the Coltrock plastic grips were grips made in 1940 and were found to be too brittle and are now rarely seen. As with the 1924 pistols, 1940 pistols have the Ordnance Dept. inspector's initials stamped below the slide stop, the "CSR" stamp for Charles S. Reed. Also, the "P" proof mark was moved to below the magazine catch replacing the "H" initial.

    I don't know if I am drooling, had a wet dream, or both...
