1 rare World War 2 Robeson U.S.M.C. Mark 2 fighting knife. This early War Robeson Mark 2 combat knife would make a rare addition to any collection.
This Mark 2 variation has red and black spacers next to the guard and pommel. The blade on the Robeson USMC was originally blued.
The blade measures 7". The knife is marked 'ROBESON SHUREDGE' on the front tang. The reverse tang is stamped 'U.S.M.C.'.
The scabbard on a Robeson USMC Mark 2 needs to have black stitches—which this knife does have. Also the pommel has the correct welded tang.
Obviously the blade has rust, as well as areas of pitting. The handle is in very nice condition. The guard is nice and tight. The snap cover on the keeper strap is missing. The snap works still. This is a rare knife—all vetted and never messed with.
