It's possible if you have a serial number on it.

I have nothing to do at the moment so I googled for you OP. Found this.
To summarize:
World War Two production by Camillus is marked either U.S.N. or U.S.N. over Mark 2 on the left ricasso and CAMILLUS, N.Y. on the right side. The Marine version is marked U.S.M.C. on the left and CAMILLUS, N.Y. on the right. They can also be marked on the guard U.S.N. over MARK 2 over CAMILLUS, N.Y. or U.S.M.C. over CAMILLUS, N.Y. But all WW2 production is marked either to the Navy or Marines.
When Camillus started production in 1962 , the markings were not specific to a service - therefore they are marked simply U.S. over CAMILLUS, N.Y. until 1974 and U.S. over CAMILLUS after that. The new series of knives made by Utica, Camillus, Conetta, MSI and Ontario are properly called Knife, Combat (Military Specification MIL-K-20227 with a number of minor amendments).
Therefore: Early WW2 marked on the ricasso with maker and service (either USN or USMC) and in 1944 changed to marked on the guard, still with maker and service. Production of these stopped in 1945. When production restarted in 1961 by Utica, all are marked with US over the maker name. Camillus used CAMILLUS, N.Y. until early 1974 then dropped the NY. All of the other makers are simply US over the maker name.
The knife that started this thread, marked US over CAMILLUS N.Y. was made from 1962 to 1974.
If you really want some GOOD information on this series of knives, you MUST have Frank Trzaska's articles in Knife World - they have everything you could ask for.
January 2005 - The Post War Combat Mark 2
December 2005 - The USMC 1219C2 of WW2
January 2006 - The USMC 1219C2 of WW2, Part 2
August 2006 - The USN Mark 2
These articles are really detailed and Frank is well known for his accurate research.

No they just did the first production run of the MK2, this pattern is old as hell and was extremely common in the US which is why it was chosen. Kabar is just branding anyways, the company currently known as Kabar didn't invent the pattern either.

I had the exact same knife in the 1980s, the leather handle has been treated with a type of paint to reduce rot. I used mine to cut a twig off a tulip tree in my yard and the blade snapped off at the grind line just forward of the hilt, they are trash
