1 WW2 Camillus Marine Raider stiletto fighting knife available. This knife is an important part of American history, and would make a rare addition to any collection.
This knife was carried by a member of Carlson's Raiders. In fact, not just any Raider--this knife was carried by H.B. Brown. He stenciled his name on the back of the sheath, and also wrote his initials 'H.B.B.'.
This Marine Raider stiletto measures 12 5/16" overall. The blade itself measures 7 1/8". See page 86 of Mike Silvey's book Knives of the United States Military -- World War II for a photo of the Raider stiletto.
This Raider knife has clear blade etches.
This knife has experienced the usually seen deterioration of its handle. This knife has high collectible value however--the perfect blade edges and ID'd sheath make it desirable. Too, some collectors who have an extensive collection like to have a knife in their collection like this that they can show/compare what happens to the Marine Raider stiletto's handle over time.
