Kinfolks Inc. M3 with scabbard BM CO (6)
Unless my memory is faulty, this one probably comes from an old Marine, one of the survivors of the 2nd Raider Battalion's Makin Island Raid, who later became an arms specialist with the weapons company, 4th Marine Regiment.
The grip has apparently been replaced, and the cap re-applied. It saw a lot of use, and was wet with salt water at least four times, under combat conditions.
It's been polished and the guard bent straight, but it's original and I suspect worth much more than was paid for it sixty years ago.
