Help with flaming logo??
Any knowledge about the flaming bomb logo with an E US over the bomb. I do not recollect ever seeing one before. What does it represent????. It is on a WWII 1942 Garand Bayonet sheath. After making a buy on 5 pieces of big iron I didn't have funds with me to purchase the bayonet and sheath. Answer will be appreciated.

Re: Help with flaming logo??
The flaming bomb was a U.S. ordnance acceptance mark.
The 'E' possibly was the maker, Eddystone perhaps?
Here are a few on my M1917 Remington rifle and Remington bayonet.
The cmp forums say the ones with the E_US stamp were made by ENS after WW2, either made in/by/for Greece.

Thanks for the assist Your link and info has given me what I need when I go Back and look again. They are not rare just possibly foreign. I had given thought to the idea that someone was trying to say E means European theater and the U.S for normal. I did get two 1917 bolo's one a j.s. mod with USMC hand stamped, the other a 1918 Plumb. Two Mark 2's one is guard marked USMC in a custom leather by a McMann from Portland. Other is guard marked USN in a leather usn marked sheath. A Mark 1 in a hard mark1 marked sheath and a downward quillion arisaka30 long bayonet in sheath with frog that has a broken belt. It was one of those times that you are in the right place at the right time. I will do photo's tomorrow and
attach to this post. There are several photo's so may take 2-4 posts/

Getting back to the original question. M1 bayonet and M7 scabbard were so marked made on US contract in the mid 1950 time period for Greece.

The US Navy Mark 1 Deck Knife is special. As an old Navy man, I understand their history. (Most people know that these were patterned after the hunting knives of the 1920's-1930's. I have the modern KaBar 1095 CroVan version of the knife. It is special.
The originals were great on deck and in combat. Take it from an "Old Salt". These knives were issued well into the Vietnam War, as was the M1 Carbine.
Ah, memories!

Capn'
I understand and appreciate your service. I was an airdale ECM operator, carried an aircrew survival knife up and down the south china coast for several hours sitting about 18 feet behind a big old reciprocating engine turning a windmill. Some how The a/c survival came to be known as a Jet Pilots Knife as though they were the made for them. Not many understand the a/c or JPK were made back into the early 50's. With all the different Manufacturers and variants there has to be near 20 or maybe more. Just those would make for a nice collection. I do by the way agree re: the Mark 1. They are the hardest in my opinion of the WW2, Korea, Cold War, Viet Nam and current(1975-Now) knives to obtain in good original condition.

PS: I guess we could start a thread showing off our Carbines
PPS: Capn', you alluded to it concerning the hunting knives. As I understand it nearly all hunting knives with a good usable blade were privately purchased and used during the war years as fighting knives. To mention a few Ek, Murphy, Randall, Gerber, Buck, Ruana, Richtig, Nichols and dozens of others.
