I got 2 knives from my Mom, they were my Dad's when he was in the Marines.

Anyway, one is a UFH Bayonet, is has the U. O. S. Stamped on the butt of the handle and the "O" is the bomb looking O that UFH is known for. This is from the 50's

Also got a Camillus Pilot knife with the original leather sheath...very heavy knife.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can value these? I've checked eBay but the prices are pretty variable.

Thanks


Top is the UFH, 2nd the Camillus and 3rd is just an older Kershaw


Bayonet

I have no idea, but they're badass for sure. I suggest taking them to the next local gun and knife show to see what the experts there say. Nonetheless, they should never be for sale no matter what they say.

Do not want to sell...Just want to try and get the value.

Good idea - I will bring them to the next gun show and see if someone can give me a value.

I've got 2 sons, and they will get all the stuff that is handed down to me from my Dad.

Thanks guys

I also got a US Army issue 1911 Colt 45 made in 1919 passed down from my grandfather. He got it from his father in the war. They will have to pry this one out of my cold dead hands before we part ways.

Good Stuff. I think my boys are going to be rather spoiled as they will both get all my Dad's military stuff and all my F-I-L hunting stuff. I make sure they both go hunting with my F-I-L as they do not realize how happy they are making him, but they do not realize the memories they are making for themselves. (They actually hunt more with him than me)
