Vintage Fighting Combat Knife

The blade measures about 8 inches long, has a false edge and blood grooves. The handle is stacked leather with aluminum spacers.

The pommel appears to be aluminum also. The guard is "S" shaped and made of brass. It has the makers mark but I can't quite read it and "Acero Sueco" below it.

The other side has "Industria Argentina". Everything is tight and solid.

There's no looseness anywhere. I believe this knife was a gaucho knife that was theater altered during ww2. That's just my opinion, I don't really know. It has discoloring, scratches, blemishes, dings, corrosion, wear, etc consistent with a vintage knife.
