I finally bought this knife. I first saw it at Blade Show this year and the feller was not ready to sell. Persistence.
It's a late 1940's Model #1 with an 8" blade. The handle is ivory with finger grips. The sheath is awesome, a riveted, wide flap Heiser with red translucent snaps.
Late 1940's model #1's and #2's are rare. After the war, field knives were in demand. You will see more #3's, #4's and #7's from the late 1940's.
