Philippine Knife, Or Letter Opener ??

Hello Vandoo, The original brass knife in this post is defiantly WWII or later and is an exact copy of knives that were made of steel with either wood, horn or aluminum hilts. Like I said earlier unfortunately the knife had been polished up for auction so there is no patina left on it.

A friend of mine has one, with an aluminum handle. It's dated, with the year 1945 and Philippines inscribed.
