Description

Historical context:

The term "USM81A WD KNIFE" refers to a set of American military equipment, generally combining a US type bayonet/knife (such as the M3, M4, M5, M6 or M7) and a specific sheath identified by the marking "WD". The Sheath (US M8A1 WD): The marking "WD" identifies the manufacturer of the sheath as Wilson-Duggar Co., Inc. from Jasper, Alabama. Period: The WD marked sheaths were produced around 1964-1965, during the Vietnam War era. Compatibility: The US M8A1 sheath is designed to be versatile and can hold the M3 trench knife as well as the M4, M5, M6, and M7 bayonets. Features: The M8A1 sheath has an olive green fiberglass body with metal trim (collar) and an M1910 suspension hook for military belts.
