1 vintage U.S./Canadian World War 2 Case V-42 stiletto. A First Special Service Force V42 would make a centerpiece knife in any collection.
This Case V42 has the long sheath with it. The blade on this knife measures 7 3/32″. The leather under the guard was cut away during the War by the soldier that carried this knife.
This knife is ID’d. The back of the sheath has the soldier’s serial # stenciled on it. The serial # is kind of hard to read, but I am getting ‘W-0218’. If I am correct, I believe this is a Canadian serial #.
