Military or knock-off?

I have had this one for a while. It appears to have blued blades, and perhaps blued springs, but is devoid of any maker's markings. The only marks on the knife is someone personalizing it by stamping their initials. The quality of the knife is every bit as good as the Vietnam Era blades that I own of the same pattern. Any help would be appreciated. Real or fake?

Are they blued or Carbon Steel patina?

Kingston and Stevenson versions of these knives were only stamped on the bail, which is missing on your knife.

I am 90% sure that the blades are blued.

You are correct, it had a bail at one time, the studs are intact.
