Rare US Vietnam War Numbered Plum Blade SOG Fighting Knife/Vtg Combat Collection











Rare US Vietnam War Numbered Plum Blade SOG Fighting Knife/Vtg Combat Collection
$0
1 vintage U.S. Vietnam War numbered plum blade SOG combat knife. This fine vintage SOG fighting knife would make an exceptional addition to any collection.
The knife blade measures 6 1/16″. This knife measures 10 3/4″ overall. This is numbered ‘1710’ on the tang.
The sharpening stone is a replacement. The original must have cracked. A collector may prefer to remove it. But many would want a stone in the pouch–much like on an OSS stiletto, replacing the rubber o-ring on the sheath instead of having none at all since the original o-rings have deteriorated after all of this time.
