Rare US M3 Dagger Dated 1943 by Kinfolks with M6 Scabbard

Rare 1st production American WW2 US M3 dagger made by Kinfolks with dated blade inside it’s original M6 leather scabbard made by Milsco. The blade is stamped “U.S. M3 KINFOLKSINC. 1943”. One leather ring is missing in the grip, and the bottom leather ring is glued in place as it was broken. This makes the cross guard wobble lightly. The pommel of the grip is stamped with the ordnance bomb stamp. The blade shows a lot of aging with a lot of old rust and sharpening. The M6 scabbard leather is in reasonable condition. 4 of the 6 round scabbard rivets have been replaced as can clearly be seen on the pictures. The scabbard is made by Milsco and stamped “U.S. M6 MILSCO 1943” on the front together with the Ordnance bomb stamp. The leather grip snap loop still works. The bottom leather wire is still attached. This dagger is a very used but rare example.
Blade length: 16,6cm
