For what it is worth (not much!), to me the knife does look legitimate, and Ron's validation is hard to deny. I'm actually encouraged that it does NOT have a RMK stamp, because that means there was no overt attempt at counterfeiting. The sheath however looks a lot like the sheaths that have accompanied the spate of counterfeit Randalls coming from Germany... except that it has no RMK stamp (again, a positive) and does have throat rivets.
The knife might be an interesting acquisition if the price is low enough., say 1/4 of what is being asked. Not Vietnam era, so not for me.
