Melancholy Mutt,
I just saw this old John EK and thought of you.
"Serial number 6Q467; Probably made 1943-1944. Was given the knife by a man in Hamden, CT. but never made it overseas. Served in San Francisco so knife was never carried, sharpened or used. original sheath shows no wear. You can buy used eks for $700-900. This one has only one small spot of rust on it. I have never seen another this fine. "
(EDITED - To remove link and references to internet knife seller's site - I'm not clear if that kind of thing is permitted even though the knife is not mine)
