1 vintage WW2 Collins V-44 survival knife available.  This V-44 combat knife would make an important addition to any collection. 
 

The blade is stamped 'COLLINS & CO.  LEGITIMUS  MADE IN U.S.A.  No. 18'.  This knife measures 14" overall.  The blade itself measures 9 7/16".  This knife has a brass guard, and desirable green horn handle.  

This WW2 green horn handle Collins V44 is in excellent condition.  The blade has carbon staining from age and just some surface-type tiny pitting.  The tip the leather sheath wore out, so the Marine or G.I. that carried this V-44 hand-stitching the tip closed again.  The thread wore eventually as well.  The holes for the stitches are still there and intact, so it can be stitched up again.
