This is an odd one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6619961175 Strikes me as a misericordia such as used to dispatch the wounded with a stab to the heart ("a little act of mercy"). But why would it have a US Army inscription? Perhaps picked up by a GI overseas who wrote his unit on the blade. Where would it have come from? Looks like a nice knife, perhaps not very old, with a decent scabbard. Thoughts??? ![]() Ian, |

The markings are superflous; this knife has no likely association with the US miltary. The sheath is wrong for a western made theater knife and soldiers markings are generally more concerened with their names, units, and service numbers.
