WW2 US M3 Fighting Knife In Leather M6 Scabbard 1943

A recently surfaced & Normandy found American Paratroopers M3 fighting knife in leather Mk 6 scabbard.
These were much favoured by the US Airborne who were well trained in the use of such weapons. This example came from a private French family in Normandy reputedly having been won in a game of pool by an older family member in 1944. The knife is a KINFOLKS made piece with the desirable marking on the blade ' US M3 ' KINFOLKSINC 1943 ' . The leather rings of the handle are still firm & in good order with blade showing wear but overall good. One can still faintly see the markings on the leather M6 scabbard with date of 1943. All of its scabbard rivets are intact with original legtie present & belt hook undisturbed.
Iconic paratrooper piece with a fascinating story attached to it.
