RCCO M3 Trench Fighting Knife WW2 For Sale Ready to find it a new home

Hi Everyone~

Looking to make someone's day by finding a new home for a RCCO M3 trench knife from WWII that I am selling. I have enjoyed collecting all types of knives throughout my life and now is the time to pass the torch along to the younger folks. 

I am starting out with the Robeson M3 and if you are interested please send me an email to tooltreasures@gmail.com to discuss the details.

I want to personally thank the knowledgeable members here that helped me to learn about this great piece of history.
Some info:
Robeson Cutlery Co. RCCO WW2 M3 trench knife that is marked on the blade "US M3 RCCO." Stamped under the guard is the crossed cannon ordinance mark.
This M3 is the named the 2nd pattern showing only "US" and the maker's name. The second smallest number of the M3 trench knife was made by the Robeson Cutlery Co. as it only made 36,575 knives.
Overall this M3 knife measures (approximately) 11 1/2"L, the spear point blade is 6 3/4"L blade that has a sharpened 3 1/2" false edge and handle is 4 3/4"L. The blade and cross guard are carbon steel, cross guard is slightly angled at one end for use as a thumb rest and the handle is made of compressed stacked leather washers with 8 grooves.

Someone with expert knowledge sharpened the blade to a keen edge with a minimal amount of metal being removed; blade has darkened with age and there are about 5 very small and shallow spots of pitting present and blade is tight and soundly in place with no movement.
Underneath the cross guard on both sides there is a very small piece of leather that is missing. Grooved handle shows some dings that are likely from use and age. Between the last groove and pommel there is a thin, shallow ragged line that is due perhaps to aging of the leather.
You must be over 18 yrs. old to buy this collectible knife. Also it is your responsibility to agree with all local, state and federal laws in purchasing this WW2 knife. I'm not responsible for any damages, loss or injury as a result of your misusing the M3 trench knife.

Here are a few pics:

Hello to Everyone~I am a newbie here to the great group and if anyone can help me out here I'd sure appreciate it. Looking to figure out why no one has approached me on buying this M3? Any input? Many Thanks, Thomas

Thomas.  You may want to send a message to Jan Carter about that.  I think she is in the process of setting up a sister website for buying and selling.

Well actually, first of all, there's no price!

Saw no photos and no price; then realized that this was posted last year. Has this sold?
