Looks okay to me.

[m1ashooter]

Looks like a reproduction to me.

[DRB]

Pictures are not good but I would say repop about 99.9% sure it is not real.

[Bayonetman]

Agree that this is one of the current reproductions. Lousy photos and none of the other side mark which is a dead giveaway. I believe it is the IMA collector version see at http://www.ima-usa.com/militaria/edg...tor-grade.html

Clik on the arrows to see the other pics of the other side...reproduction for sure.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..........Soooooooo.......... Now I see. So they are actually "antiquing" the "repros"?

[Hecklerusp45]

Is it just me, but is the color of the scabbard off a little on the repos?

[Dan Shapiro]

Wouldn't be surprised if they were "aging" the scabbards as well.

Fake

Fuller is indistinct near crossguard, sort of peters out when it should be sharp transition.

Beginning of edge near crosguard should be rounded, not the squared off K-Bar style we see.

Reverse cogwheel marking not US
