Found a Fork: Need More ID Help

[carolinachief]

Went back to searching my same area this evening. My first night hunt in a long time. The weather is great though. Upper 60's so was out in a T-shirt with my head lamp on. Got a couple wheats.(1918, 1944S) Also got this fork and was wondering if anyone could tell me about it. The U.S. stamped on the handle has my curiosity peaked. Thanks in advance for any help.

Very possible that it was "liberated" from one of the mess halls in your state.

Looks too be a fork from a mess kit. How far are you from Ft.Bragg or Camp Lejeune ? Nice find.
