USA WW2 theater fighting knife, 6-inch blade, aircraft Plexiglas & bronze handle

Description: One of a kind WW2 era fighting knife probably made from an old saw blade or a large butcher knife. This is a so-called “theater knife” - made by some unknown GI from whatever materials were available at hand. This is a somewhat crude but practical fighter with good balance and fit; the blade and the handle are unmarked. Stacked aircraft Plexiglas and brass spacers handle with a simple iron double-guard and a massive solid bronze pommel. The handle is tight; all parts are solid with no play. This interesting fighter is about 10-3/4″ / 27.3 cm overall; the blade is about 6" / 15.2 cm. The edge is very sharp still; the tip is a little bent; some light rust spots on high-carbon steel blade is noted for accuracy (cleanable). The scabbard did not survive.
