I think the Becker BK 17 would be a great match, just add scales. Great score

Great Idea, You beat me to it.

I got a kabar commando from ebay for 26 bucks, I thought I was getting a standard 7 inch ww II kabar, after doing some research I figured I got a commando, I am happy regardless, it's got a nice polish to it, no sheath, no biggie

Yes, indeed. You are in possession of a WW2 model Ka-bar commando. If you bought that knife for $27 dollars, it was a steal. True, it doesn't fall into the category of showcase collectors item, simply because they made so many. But, as a stern ka-bar fan; I'd say it would definately catch the eye. The gents are correct, it is in fine shape, assuming it's an authentic piece and not a reissue. It was available originally by private purchase, but near the end of the war, it was commonly sold and issued to soldiers. Met a gent a few years back who was a WW2 vet and he still had one, and swore by it. Tough as nails, they are. Kudos on the buy, my friend.
