WW2 BOWIE/FIGHTING KNIFE BY EGW
This is a WW2 knife that sold commercially in stores across the USA during the war It is probably not an official government issued knife but no doubt was carried by thousands of US servicemen who were anxious to have a good high quality knife.
This example is in exceptional condition showing hardly any use as shown in the images.
Bayonets and fighting knives are becoming rarer in Australia as the US and UK postal systems no longer allow postage of them.
