M3 militart knife

[hvymech]

I found a M3 knife at the local pawn shop... the back of the sheath is marked CamilluS USA , The knife is marked US M3 camillus along the side of the blade, has leather washer grips ,and a flaming cannon ball stamped on the bottom of the grip. Real or reproduction?

Thanks

Never saw sheath Camillus marked, Pics would be needed for blade. Sounds correct, but there are repos. I always look @ the leather washers first. If sharp edges and well defined washers, would usually signify a repo.

The sheathes marked Camillus are 1990s reproductions. The key on the knife is the number of pins holding the pommel to the tang. World War 2 manufacture had two pins through the pommel - the 1990s reproductions have only a single pin.
