Not sure if I should post here or in the Ka-Bar sub forum,but just wondering if anyone can tell me about when this was made?
Thanks in advance Rob

I believe that they used that stamp combo in the late 1920's - early 1930's .

The fat pommel, single black and brass spacers front and back and the model and blade length code numbers on the guard identify it as an early knife, probably pre-1930s. The very first ones had four pin stag handles. Sadly yours is missing close to 20% of it's blade due to sharpening. The stamping on the blade was used from 1923 to about 1942.
