You are bidding on a very RARE and hard to find US M3 Camillus stamped 1943 with a U.S MC M.LSCO 1943 original scabbard The M-3 Fighting Knife was introduced during World War Two. The M-3 was given to personnel that were issued the M-1, M-2 carbine or the M-1911A1 pistol. This M-3 was made by Carmillus and is a First pattern fighting knife. There were three patterns of the M-3 fighting knife: First pattern: had US M3, the manufactures name, and the date 1943 on the blade. Second pattern: had US M3, the manufactures name, and no date on the blade. Third pattern: move the information to the crossguard, on top US and M3, below the manufactures name. The manufactures name was in smaller print. This is the normal location for all bayonets produced by the United States. This item is a rare find and comes with a unique struck design as shown in pictures above. I hate to let this go as it was cherished although I am in hope that this item finds it way into the hands of someone who will appreciate it and cherish it just as much. Good luck and
