Need Help With Navy MKI

[Scott Wilson]

Can anyone identify the maker of this knife based in the butt? The blade is covered with some super thick preservative and I cannot see the maker's mark.http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q230/isky_bucket/NavyM1Knife003.jpg

Yes, only one of the USN Mark 1 knives used this pattern of spacers and the distinctive butt. It is a PAL RH-35.

Thanks Bayonetman! I traded for the knife and scabbard yesterday and could not resist taking a peek.
