WWII Request from Tim

Post by lt632ret »

Tim here are some factory pics from Schrade relating to the WWII set issued in 1991. I know you are looking for the IWO Marine lockback to complete your set. Here are a couple of pics to show you what it looks like. I included a letter from Gen Eisenhower ( JR ) relating how the etch subjects were decided on. I decided to post this instead of just emailing you the info in case someone else would like to archive the pics or info. I hope this helps or at least you find it interesting. I have more of this stuff but it is as always a crapshoot when it will float by when I am researching something else. This stuff caught my eye this morning when I started doing a completely unrelated article so I stopped and did these. Perhapes someone out there even has an IWO for sale and this posting will help you find one. Good Hunting LT

The display cases can be found as well, but god only knows how much shipping would be to Australia.
