757th Railway Shop Battalion - Henry Brill knife

From Bruce Brill....According to my dad's separation papers, his job tiltle was "boiler maker." I have a knife he made (probably in "the shop") out of a propeller from a downed airplane. Two photos of it, attached, fyi. Notice the handle: some kind of plastic, which, I'm thinking, must've been "state of the art" back in '45!
thanks!
