Trying to find a place that has the USN Mark 3 mod 0

[lepermime]

My father was in the service in 1972 on a submarine. He was one of the divers on the sub. I just found out from my mother that he has been searching for a Mark 3 mod 0 US Navy Diving knife almost since the day he started scuba diving a year ago. I "googled" for the knife and couldn't find anything at all. Does anyone have any suggestiong on where I could find one, either on the internet or in the Austin Texas area?

My prior post about which dive knife would be best can be disregarded. None of those are what he really wants.

Thanks again.

I think that the knife that you are looking for is made by Ontario as the 497 Navy knife. 1SKS has them here:

You can do a google image search for a picture, Here is one:
