Attached is another picture of my brother in Vietnam. This was taken Nov. 22 1966 somewhere south of Ban Don, and Pleiku, B-23 II-corp, Republic of Vietnam. At that time he was a part of Team A-233 Ban Don, 5th Special Forces.

This shows him in the field sharpening his toothed Model 14, using orginal sharpening stone. This particular knife was later lost when his belt broke while riding a Maquire rig in early 1968. In May 1968 the lost knife was replaced by a Model 14 Solingen, previously pictured.

Ben,
I can't tell from your pics, but is the back of the sheath stamped with an "M"?
Nice at any rate, Capt. Chris

A lot of Greg's sheath (I will have to take some photos), especially "Canteen-snapped" and riveted ones will be stamped with an "M". This denotes one of Greg's "Military" models. Most I have had made came with more of a natural tan leather, rather than the darker tan. Greg has made me waxed ones as well however. Hope this helps.
Best, Capt. Chris

Yes it is an M also the leather is a light tan, the pics are kinda crappy, I just had to show it off!

Does the M add to the value?
