    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.
