I know a bit about the M1911A1
Would enjoy learning about the knife and sheath

Both are WW II issue.
Both the 1911 and the Ka-Bar were made by several companies during the war, to meet the military's demand.

Your examples of both appear to be in excellent condition.

Real awesome MK2 fighting knife, and nice pistol caliber .45 model of 1911a1.
JMB had a real winner with that pistol ( will always be around as long as guns use cartridges ) and Union Cutlery had a real winner with this knife design.
You're lucky to have both.
