Ok, first of all, i cant load any pictures, i have already tried. So if anyone can help me with an old knife i have i would appreciate it. I have a kbar knife made by Camillus NewYork on the blade. It is black coated blade which is worn down and a leather stack black handle...Now the kicker is the sheath. It is leather but it is coved by camo. The old Marine style camo. It is factory done. Can anyone tell me about this knife. Its the same size as a regular kbar... Thanks so much.
 
Camillus offered the model #5684 (Mark 2) knife and the model #5733 Pilot Survival knife with camo sheaths. A special catalog sheet was prepared and advertisements were placed in Army/Navy surplus publications There were still many of these catalog sheets in the Sales Dept. at the Camillus factory when the company closed. The camo sheaths were offered during the 1980's.

thank you so much for clearing that up for me. So the knife is not from the WWII era. Does that make the knife have any value?
