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.
Here's another completed auction, shallow fuller philips head screws looks like a match.
