Lost Randall Model 1
I carried a Randall Model 1 with an 8 inch stainless blade when I was in the US Army in the early Sixties. It had a brass guard, a leather handle with finger grips, and a duraluminum butt cap, drilled for a thong; the blade had my serial number etched on it along with my name.
Later, I lent the knife to my then- girlfriend's brother, Alan Firth USMC, when he received orders to Viet Nam. Unfortunately he was later killed in Quang Tri in 1968 (?) and my Randall disappeared.
I hope another Marine inherited it. If anyone runs across this Model 1, I sure would like to have it back.
Thanks, Neil Tucson, AZ
