WWII USM3 Imperial Fighting Knife

This is a superb example of a USM3 Knife, it came from a friends wonderful collection. The grip is pretty nice and has a very small amount of wear around the middle of the grip. The pommel does have the flaming ball on is which is always nice to see! The cross guard is stamped USM3 Imperial. The blade is also in wonderful condition with a great amount of the finish still present. The scabbard on the obs=verse side is stamped USM8 and BMCO, the reverse side of the shell also has a stamp in it. Someone over the years hit the scabbard with the blade so you see some cuts but not too bad, overall a very nice example!
