A clean example of the U.S. Marine Corps raider knife. The blade is full length, some overall staining to the blade with very light traces of the manufacturer’s etched markings close to the cross guard, also in certain light the U.S.M.C. scroll that straddles the spine of the blade can just about be seen. The U.S.M.C. knives are very prevalent to the degrading of the metalwork of the grip, which is basically a casting. This hilt is absolutely perfect, no cracks or splits in any manner. In its original M6 scabbard with its base metal plate and its hilt retaining strap, the scabbard has shrunk making it tight to place the knife all the way to the base of the scabbard, 1cm of the blade is exposed and this can be seen in the photographs of the blade where the blade has been this distance out of the scabbard laying for many years by easing back the belt loop section of the scabbard with pressure the blade does insert to its full length.

An extremely scarce fighting knife of WWII being made by the Anderson Company of Glendale California. The overall length of the knife is 34cm, fitted into the scabbard 35cm, the blade is 21cm in length, double sided with central fuller running half the length of the blade. The blade on this example with slight spotting but no distortion or sharpening, complete with its original grey composition grip, which is marked ‘MADE IN USA’ in large letters to one side, to the opposite side ‘ANDERSON, GLENDALE CALIFORNIA’. Two thong holes to the pommel are not drilled all the way through. The blades on these rare Anderson knives were constructed from surplus model 1913 Patton cavalry sabres, each blade was cut into three sections, therefore another Anderson knife may well have the fuller of a different length, as this example is only half the length of the blade we can be sure that this was the final third of the original Patton sabre blade. Three different blade sections are shown in the excellent work United State Military Knives 1941-91 by N.W.Silvey with an example with this section of the blade on the front cover. Totally original heavy duty scabbard, complete with its male/female closing hilt retaining loop, some stitches to the upper part of the scabbard missing. A desirable piece for the American knife collector.
