ODA 732 Mark II Vietnam Presentation Knife

[chisumr]

I have recently recently purchased a 7th Group Mark II Presentation Knife. It is in mint condition and wondered if anyone has one or knows the history of this knife. Thanks.

Thin leather sheath indicates that it was a presentation item, not intended for wear.

Thru the PS.com link, here is a collectors vision of Viet Nam pointy/pokey things. It may not be all inclusive, but I think yours falls into the PCS gift category..
