Dave,
I'd say you found another great ww2 piece. Where did you find it? Yours is stamped better than mine but here are a few pics.

Hi All
Phil
I found it at the auction site, I had to save it from the wood carver's :shock: It need's a little work I will take it to the knife guy at the swap meet and see if he can adjust it. I am happy to have it! Glad to see you have one too. 8)

Thanks
Dave

Hi All
Phil
Is your knife a single blade too ? This one is.
Thanks
Dave

Hi All
Here's another pic of the knife since it only has one blade that is why I didn't post it on the 41-K-370 thread and started another thread.

Dave,

I've not seen a single blade. Mine has the typical 2 blades.

Dave,
I've never seen a kit but one of my US Army knives was missing the bail so I robbed one off of a donor TL-29 type knife and installed it on my keeper knife.

Hi All
Don,
I remember reading that post a while back.I was able to find a Pal TL-29 with some damage to the blades that has a good bail with the two notches on it I needed for my bone handle knife. I still have to find two more bails,I just thought some one might know of knife maker that had them for sale Thanks for responding if anyone has a damaged Pal knife with a good bail to sell let me know.
Thanks
Dave
