Randall knife?

Gentlemen

I was up at West Point last week and saw this knife in on of the display cases.
Looks like a Randall to me?

Cheers,

Late 1942 or early '43 Model 1-8 with CJ Moore (or Southern Saddlery) sheath ! Beautiful. Thanks for the pic.

Thanks for the information. I almost broke that glass to get my hands on that blade.

I think it would do good on ebay........

Cheers,

Was there any description of the history or owner of the knife?

There was - I did however not get a picture of it and forgot who it belonged to.

I think that is the Randall that MG Jim Gavin carried as the CG of the 82nd Airborne Division in WWII. It is another one of those knives that you wish couyld talk as it saw some very interesting times and events.
