Overall a honest WW2 relic, to collect or shoot. It is little used with Holster wear mainily on the barrel bringing it to 80% to 85% of orginal blue remaining. The grip straps show almost NO wear, indicating it was mostly holstered during its life. Wood grips are in excellent condition etc

What makes this spoon a very desirable collectable is the matching number magazine, capture certificate and dated holster....along with being a matching number spoon of course.

Collectors go apey over matching magazines and certificates. Holsters just complete the package. Anyone interested just PM me an I can shoot you some pics via e-mail. I a very reasonable person in real life.
What do they go for, these days?
