Red Spacer on Ka Bar usmc Mk 2

[Trouthunter58]

I recently picked up a Ka Bar MK2 and it has a red spacer on the handle. Can anyone tell me the significance of this and the approximate vintage?

Looking forward to learning more about it.

Thanks

Welcome to the Kabar forum and Bladeforums, Trout, glad you joined us.

Photos would help us to ID it. If you need some help, just let me know.

Once again, welcome, and stick around.

Sorry, had to do some research. I would say WWII era. How deep are the stampings?
