Not sure where this came from.  Could be my dad's.  Could be one of my grandfather's.  Anyone have any ideas or know where to look/ask?


Thanks

A writeup on the PAL 36 RH Fighting Knife.   Looks to be what you have!

At first I thought it was an old Marbles knife made in Gladstone, MI but it is indeed a PAL which is owned by Remington - the RH means Remington Hunter

wow. thank you.  that was quick!

I had one grandfather who was a Battan survivor and another who was in the Army Air Force but never saw combat due to a bad back.  Probably for the best, I think he was assigned as a B-17 belly gunner.

  So I'm trying to find out now to whom the knife belonged.

I haven't looked it up, but if its all original with the original sheath - it probably has some significant value especially if you have some history that goes with it.

Thats a great old knife!

Prices run from $60 - $100

There is one of those in the utensil drawer at my parents.  I never thought anything about it.  Again, don't know who it belonged to.  Dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam, Grandad was a Marine in WWII & Korea.
