<p>I do not see a <span>fuller (groove in blade for bloodletting) in picture, so yours should be the hunting version. I have one also, but I believe mine was used in WWII as it does have the fuller.

<p>DLKG,</p>
<p>I took another look and you are correct that stamp is there. I know we do not have a lot of watermans here so I wonder where those folks are hiding LOL.</p>

<p>Watermans have a dedicated fan/collector base -- I'm just not sure if refurbishing the knife is desirable or not (be conservative & don't clean it up until you find out for certain that this is the better thing to do, if you plan to sell it -- if not, do whatever you want, because it's yours).</p>

<p>No problem. Fairly sure these were never issued to military personnel, but many took their knives with them. You'll be able to find more, I am sure, with a quick Google search. Hard part was finding the name...lol.</p>
