SUPER RARE ANOMALY WWII ROBESON USMC FIGHTING KNIFE W/SHEATH - REBLUED BLADE. One of the rarest and most desirable U. S. fighting knives of WWII is the Marine fighting knife made by the Robeson Cutlery Company. Only 10,000 of these knives were made for the Marines in early WWII and with the heat, humidity, salt water, and dangerous combat conditions the Marines faced in their Southwestern Pacific island campaigns many were lost and those which survived often suffered severe rust, rotten spacers, broken-off pommels and other similar conditions. As a result, finding a Robeson USMC in excellent or better condition is a rare find and it will command a premium price in the thousands of dollars. This Robeson USMC is super-rare because its guard was installed upside-down at the factory! It is the only example of this anomaly I have ever seen or heard about in all my many years of collecting. I have restored this super-rare knife by just hot-bluing its blade. No other restoration work was required. So, with the exception of it re-hot-blued blade, this super-rare Robeson USMC is in its original condition. As a result, as shown by the photos, it is in excellent condition. And, it is accompanied by its original Robeson USMC sheath which has had its retaining strap replaced. Also, it has the name - presumably of the Marine who carried it - \"William Y. Holmes (?)\" carved into its front. If you have any questions, please ask before offerding or buying. Thanks.
