This knife would make a centerpiece knife in any collection. Per M.H. Cole in his book The Best of U.S. Military Knives Bayonets & Machetes: This is the special U.S. Navy V-42. These Case V-42's were issued to members of the landing force on the U.S. light cruiser, USS Omaha. U.S.M.C. Stiletto Type 3 scabbards were issued with these V-42's by CASE. All leather scabbards were stamped with a set of identifying numbers and "USS Omaha". The 'USS Omaha' stamp was obliterated on these scabbards. This was done to prevent identification of the ship in the event they fell into enemy hands. Later in 1945 these same knives were ordered thrown into the Phila. Harbor. Rather than do this, a number of these outfits were retained. The blade on this knife measures 7 3/32". The scabbard on this V-42 is marked with the identifying number 'S-35'. The Case V-42 is a coveted and classic U.S. fighting knife. CONDITION: This U.S. World War II USS Omaha V-42 fighting knife is in excellent condition. The blade has approx. 50% of its original bluing. The leather below the guard is in excellent condition. There are light spots of minor patina on the blade. Everything is perfectly tight on this knife. The scabbard is in excellent condition. This listing represents the opportunity to add a coveted USS Omaha CASE V-42 fighting knife to your collection. ***International Customers: Shipping can seem high on certain items, because tracking and insurance (required for higher cost items) is expensive when shipping internationally.
