1 harder to find World War 2 PAL USMC red spacer Mark 2 fighting knife.  This early War PAL USMC Mark 2 combat knife would make a rare addition to any collection.

This Mark 2 variation has a thick red spacer next to the guard.  The blade is parkerized.  

The blade on this desirable Mark 2 measures 7″.  The knife is marked ‘PAL’ on the front tang.  The reverse tang is stamped ‘U.S.M.C.’. 

The sheath is stamped ‘PAL BLADE CO.’.

1 premium U.S. World War 2 knuckle knife available.  This knife would make an important addition to any collection.  

This knife reminds me in some ways of a Smiths knuckle knife (New Zealand).  I bought it in a group with a Smiths.  Also, the guard is made almost the same way.  And, New Zealand and Australia liked to make a lot of knuckle knives with aluminum handles like this one has.  But I’m not certain, of course.  If it isn’t an unknown variant of the Smiths, it is at the very least a premium WW2 knuckle knife.  

The leather sheath has tooled designs–including a steer and is marked ‘TEXAS’.  Now, some would say no to the Smiths suggestion–especially with a sheath like this.  But who knows?

This knife measures 11″ overall.  The blade measures 6 5/8″.  For comparison purposes, one photo of the Smiths I sold is provided in this listing.
