Camillus Mk2 fighting knives

[Raymond L Norwood]

Is there a difference between Camillus Mk2 fighting knives marked "U.S. Camillus NY on the blade and knives marked the same on the guard?
Thanks in advance
Ray

Pretty sure the guard marked ones are older.

The version I heard was later in the war Camillus and Ka-Bar were both buying stamped guards from a subcontractor rather than stamping their own blades.
