This knife was found at the bottom of a US Army Musette bag from WW2. It belonged to a Major A.D. Brewer and was among many items located within his footlocker that I purchased at an estate sale.
Besides being quite dirty, I cannot see any MFG markings. Does anybody have an idea as to the identification of this knife?

It appears to be an Imperial. The handles are shell type construction with celluloid wrap.
Value and collectability is low.

Thank you David. I appreciate it.

While considered by many as low dollar and poorly constructed compared to higher dollar hand made knives, this knife has long pulls and cut swedges on two blades. Far more desirable, IMO, than the modern flat stamped blades so often encountered these days.
