My first thought was that it was a Fantasy piece.

I have never seen the sharpened upper part of blade end so deeply/abruptly and into the Randall logo .

The knife blade was obviously cleaned up and/or reground . No way a 70+ y/o blade is going to look like that .

Hilt appears too new and possibly may have been a double hilt with top part ground down ? Top part of hilt does not end like other pics of knives i have seen from this era . Seems like an abrupt end .

Spacers look like they belong on a leather handle knife . Usually WWII stag have the 7 spacer set up . They also look brand new .

The stag looks brand new . Has appearance of a modern piece . I believe the White Tail deer are usually seen on WWII pieces ?

The double pinning looks a bit off and too close to the hilt ? Appear like new pins ?

The Heiser Sheath with large throat buttons i have "usually" seen on post WWII knives .

A LOT of red flags on this one .

I know many of you guys are much better suited to give opinions , but to me it appears to be a put together piece ( fantasy pice ) .
