That is a peculiar knife to me. My guess is that it is a real Springfield but I have never seen one with an etching like that....just US ARMY. That's weird to me but....the handle is spot on....at least to me. I think, if it is a real Springfield it is a later production one. It looks like it never had a stamp or at most a very lightly stamped logo that has been worn away. Mitchell and Joe should be able to tell you for sure.

I've handled a few Springfields, over the decades, and this sure looks like one to me. US ARMY was, possibly, a later addition to this blade. It is very well done and nothing crude, added in WWII theater. At least that's the appearance it gives me.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Absolutely there was a chance. Bo was offered to buy back all of the remaining Larsen inventory, which he declined to do. Everything was then sold "outside" of anything to do with RMK, and those are the oddballs that we see popping up all of the time.

That is what I thought when seeing it....no Randall mark, the very neat branch stencil acid etch (I assume), and would not be suprised if USMC or USN versions were out there....only other thought would have been lunchbox knife except the neat marketing symbol.

Awesome knife- it's a real beauty! I just had to re-read the nice write up in Gaddis' book on page 46-47.
Great find!

number 14 "fish" or"bar" knife
