Description from HiBid
A custom World War II era theater-made fixed-blade fighting knife featuring a clip-point recurve blade. The knife is constructed with dark wood handle scales secured to a full tang by two large brass and steel bullseye pins. It features an oval steel crossguard and a flared pommel with a lanyard hole. The left side of the blade is stamped with the inscription 12/24/33 LARRY LEITH, 12/1/43, and the butt of the handle is incised with 12-24-33. These inscriptions likely identify the original owner and provide significant dates, possibly a birth date and a date of acquisition or service milestone.
