1 U.S. Vietnam Randall special order model 14 fighting knife available. This Vietnam Randall fighting knife would make a fine addition to any world militaria collection.
This model 14 is pretty interesting–one side of the handle is marked ‘INDO-CHINA 1969-1971’. The reverse side of the handle has what is likely the same inscription written in one of the indigenous languages of the Indo-China region.
There are a couple of characteristics of this knife that suggest it could have been carried by an Air America flight crew member. First, instead of the handle being inscribed just ‘Vietnam 1969-1971’, it says Indo-China. The countries of Indo-China include Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. Air America operated covertly in Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. A second knife characteristic is the special order feature on this model 14 of a serrated blade spine. These serrations were common among flight crew members for cutting through the aluminum fuselage in the event of being shot down.
This fighting knife measures 11 7/8″ overall. The blade itself measures 7 3/8″. This Randall has a riveted sheath. Also I am told that the tie-down holes in the guard are also non-standard. The stone was replaced with a magnesium fire starter stone.

U.S. Marine ID’d Vietnam War ca.1967 Gerber Mark II fighting knife. This early combat knife would make an important addition to any collection.
This Gerber is serial number ‘004580’. This Mark II serial number dates this knife to 1967. The Marine etched his name on one side of the guard. It looks to read ‘D. Hirte’. The reverse side of the guard is etched ‘USMC 2182919’. This vet’s service record is researchable since his name, branch, and serial # are on his knife.
The sheath has the 2-line Gerber stamp, and the right-hand keeper strap. The sheath houses the Gerber sharpening steel.

1 antique Japanese WW2 Army ‘rising sun’ flag. This Japanese flag would make a fine addition to any collection.
For reference, sun rays Japanese flags that have the sun centered in the center of the flag are Army flags. Those that have the sun off to the left side of the center of the flag are navy flags.
This flag measures 33 inches by 25 inches. This flag is made of silk. It has cloth ties on its left edge.

1 SO RARE Australian-made World War 2 V-44 fighting/survival knife. This is the ONLY Australian V44 knife I have been able to find marked for sale by Levensons Radio in Sydney. This wood handle Aussie WW2 fighting knife would make an important addition to any collection.
The blade is engraved on its front side ‘Jungle King’. Pretty cool. The reverse side of the blade is engraved ‘Made for Levensons Radio 226 Pitt St. Sydney’.
The other type of Australian-made fighting knife I have seen engraved with ‘Made for Levensons Radio…’ is the Australian Commando stiletto. Note the last photo provided above of the same marking on an Australian Commando stiletto.
This knife measures 13 7/8″ overall. The blade itself measures 8 11/16″. There was no scabbard with this knife when we purchased it.
