The second one marked USMC on the tang was from the WW2 era and had a coating on the blade that held up better. I recently bought one and after I used Flitz polish it looked great. Sent it off to have it honed and I shaves great. I would like to find the earlier version.

Also, I read somewhere these were not "regulation issue" razors. Clauss produced them but they were not sold through the USMC.

BTW, my son just graduated from Parris Island in October (3rd BN, India Co.) He is at Camp Pendleton going through RECON training. Tell your son I appreciate what he does. Being a Drill Instructor has to be tough.

Thank You for the kind words my friend and a big Semper Fi to your son! Ooh rah!
Recon huh? He gets to run up "Recon Ridge" AKA, "Mount Motherf&%cker" lol
