So as I was digging in a miscellaneous stuff box at my local pawnshop, I found this little sweetie. I really wish I had taken some before shots!
At first look, there were no markings to be seen on the knife or the scabbard. I thought it was a knock-off piece.
The canvas on the scabbard was brown, the handle appeared to be green with the checkering worn down. Absolutely filthy!
But just a little light brushing with a fingernail brush and a toothbrush removed years of collected grime and revealed what appears to be an un-issued M6!
Not that it's worth a gazillion bucks, but for a $10 take-a-chance, I think I did pretty well!
