Marked "W.R.F." and "U.S.N.". Under the flap is stamped "32"; which appears to be the blade length. It's in great condition. I know Marlow White makes a style of this in nylon; but this is leather; sueded on the inside. What can anyone tell me about this piece? Thanks Last edited by Cruiser1; 07/14/19.

I have two of them (one each for the Marines and Navy) The initials are those of the original officer who owned it.

What do these things cost?
