Small (I'm guessing) letter opener in shape of a sword/dagger enscribed with Hill 60 on the blade.
Belonged to my great great grandfather who fought there.
Apart from that I don't know much about it ... anyone able to help ?
Hill 60 was part of the WW2 Battle of Okinawa.
The letter opener looks to be a bayonet in style.
Most likely a souvenir item made in the 1960s or later.
This item is typical of PX/ BX souvenir items. It could have been a reunion item.
