Original U.S. WWII Cattaraugus 225Q “Commando” Fighting Knife With Sheath

Original Item: Only One Available. This example is offered in good, service used condition and comes complete with the original issue leather sheath which shows heavy wear and dry rot. The finish on the blade is good with good markings. It is however still quite sharp. The leather grip is now stained dark with white spotting, but does not have any major damage, but there is some chipping in the leather. The pommel is now slightly loose.

The sheath is in good shape, with a lovely dark brown color. All stitching and rivets are intact, though the leather has crazing around some rivets and on the securing strap. This was definitely a knife and scabbard that saw use. The scabbard is carved with the name JOHN H., which is unfortunately not researchable. 

A very nice example, ready to display!
