Remington or W. R. Case 62-5 World War II "Pig Sticker"

Trapper Jon's Knives recently acquired an old Remington or W. R. Case made, model 62-5 "Pig Sticker" knife from World War II, complete with original sheath.  The knife has jigged bone scales and is sterile and unmarked except for a marking we have been unable to research.  Neatly stamped on the ricasso of the knife is the name The Marion Line.  Can anyone tell us anything about this unusual stamping?  How about an approximate value with such a stamping?

Jon has the knife displayed for sale and we would like to learn a bit about it.

Thank you for any and all help.

Dave,

Get a pic and lets get it to Katie Shonts Saar.  I am certain she can give us some insight

Our knife is the 62-5 model, "Pig Sticker", that much we were able to research.  I will take a photo of it and post it here.  Perhaps that will help.  It appears The Marion Line may have been an early distributor selling knives made for them on contract from various knife companies.  Hopefully we can learn more.

Thanks for your help.

I am thinking it is actually a Buck, does it look like this?
