Original U.S. WWII M3 Trench Knife w/ P.W.H. M8 Scabbard

Offered is an original U.S. WWII M3 Trench Knife complete with its original U.S. M8 scabbard manufactured by P.W.H. Co. (Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind). This is one of the most recognizable and collectible American fighting knife combinations of World War II, prized by collectors of U.S. Army, Airborne, Ranger, and Marine Corps equipment.

The knife features the classic spear-point blade, stacked leather washer grip, and steel crossguard. The blade retains its original profile and exhibits an attractive aged patina with honest finish wear from military service. The leather grip remains solid with expected handling wear, giving the knife an authentic battlefield appearance.

Included is an original olive drab fiberglass M8 scabbard correctly marked “US M8 P.W.H. CO.” at the throat. The M8 scabbard was introduced late in WWII and is considerably less common than the later M8A1, making original wartime examples especially desirable. The scabbard remains in good condition with honest service wear and pairs perfectly with the knife.

This is an outstanding original WWII fighting knife set that would make an excellent addition to any U.S. military edged weapons collection or WWII display.

Condition:
Good original military surplus condition. The knife shows honest service wear, age patina, and light finish loss. The stacked leather grip is tight and intact. The P.W.H. Co. M8 scabbard is original and remains in good condition with clear markings.
