Bought this today for $50. I know nothing about kabar. First thought was that the scabbard was a repo or aftermarket. I think the knife is WWII but not sure at all. Any info would be appreciated.

From the pictures you have a USN issued Mk2 knife. Who is the manufacturer? The sheath doesn't look issue.

The sheath is an early one piece type that were made for the Mark 2 knives. But since it’s an early sheath it probably would have been originally issued with a WWII blade, marked rather than guard marked, Mark 2.
Knife appears to have the early heavy pommel.
Thanks for all the info. It was a lucky flea market buy and I am glad to know more about it.
