The last two images in this listing are provided for reference only of these knives' WW2 history.  The reference knife is ID'd.  The reference knife was made for Captain Southard who was an officer at Fort Missoula where Rudy worked during the internment camps for the Japanese pre WWII.  The reference knife was purchased decades later in Kansas City from the Captain's nephew.
 

This large World War 2 Ruana fighter was carried.  The blade has pitting and signs of use.  The aluminum tang has a stable crack on both belly and spine.  This is common on Ruana WW2 fighters.  The handle is solid, stable, and has no looseness or wiggle.  This knife could be carried into combat again today.  The Mark 2 sheath is in perfect condition.
