Lori was searching through images of Hal Moore and re-discovered this photo.
Then Col. Hal Moore wearing a model 2, reportedly given to him by General Westmoreland. It has been reported to be a 7 in. blade in a Johnson sheath, but my eyes lead me to believe it's a 6 in. blade in a Heiser sheath.


Looking at the handle, I think it could be wood or brown micarta. It seems like I recall someone mentioning the possibility of the handle being wrapped in tape. I'd love to know for sure!
