Bill is spot on as usual.
I would have guessed 3-6 by the look stamping on the sheath is a little odd... 7 over 15? I also would have guessed mid-late '50s, pinned handle. Hope you can find a way to repair the sheath. In any case, it is a really good deal on a really nice knife. Seems to be in very good shape, few if any sharpening marks... not used much if at all. The loss of the pocket snap is probably because of mold, not over use.
I've always thought the m3 is the most graceful of all the models... and I like the feel of the one I have. The sharpening stone by itself may be worth $100-150 or so.
Ron Mathews may "pin" down the details a little further as he is probably the most knowledgeable about the model and era.
