Cherry Bomb on Camillus pommel

Post by bocaj »

Does anyone know the significance of a Cherry Bomb stamped onto the Camillus USM3 vs none being present on the rear end of the pommel ???

Are you referring to an Ordnance Stamp? Is that what you're calling a Cherry Bomb? And yes. Pictures please.

Agreed on a photo. But in the meantime, genuine WW2 Camillus M3s will have two pins holding the pommel on, the later repros by Camillus only have one pin holding the pommel on.
