Original U.S. WWII 1944 Personalized KA-BAR USN MK2 Fighting Knife with Leather Scabbard African Militaria In April of 1944 aOriginal Item: This is a 1944 KA Bar USN (U. S. Navy) marked fighting knife with USMC style leather scabbard. The markings on the hand guard are as follows: KA BAR and on the opposite side: USN MK2 The USN and MK2 have been stamped out to conceal which was not uncommon for a member of the USMC. In 1944, the US Navy put through a change order to have the markings moved from the blade to the cross guard, so this knife was produced just after that
