The use of Philips head screws is very unusual. The narrower fuller is seen also on some Lilley Ames blades made under contract for the KNIL. Another minor anomaly is the slightly upturned tip (slightly more than usual I think) not mentioned yet.
Does the edge grind vary in width? That is a feature of all the MILSCO blades I have seen.
If it is a fake, and an old one at that, why make a fake of something that was sold for low prices in surplus stores in the 1950s? Not worth the faker's time and effort.
