Price just LOWERED on this Incredible Mark II.
1 incredible early Vietnam War 1967 Gerber Mark II fighting knife. This Mark II combat knife would make an important addition to any collection.
This Gerber is serial number '002002'. The soldier who carried this knife camouflaged it for in-country carry in combat. He purchased Gerber's bluing kit when he bought this knife. The blade has about 40% of this blued finish still intact. This Vietnam Gerber measures 11 7/8" overall. The blade itself measures 6 3/4".
The sheath has the 2-line Gerber stamp, and the right-hand keeper strap. The sheath also has the early staples instead of rivets.
The second photo, of a U.S. Special Forces soldier in Vietnam, was provided to show the type of Special Forces camo pattern which a soldier applied to this knife's sheath--and also to show the type of Special Forces man who would have carried such a knife--bad-ass.
This Vietnam War period 1967 Gerber Mark II is in awesome condition. There are occasional small finish nicks. The blade was kept perfectly sharp on a stone. The blade's bluing is still about 40%. The scabbard is excellent with no condition concerns whatsoever.
