    FS: Original WW I 1917 Trench Knife by L,F,&C....

    This Original Trench knife measures 14? overall with a 9? straight, angular blade. The blade retains 93-95% of the original blued finish that has silvered slightly along the centers of the facets from contact with the scabbard. The factory Blued blade is in great condition with a full original blade point. The hilt has the pyramidal type ?D?-guard with large ?U.S./L.F.&C./1917? stamp on the front of the quillon, and has mild ruddy-brown freckling at the bases of the pyramidal projections, with about 90-95% of the original blued finish remaining on the balance. The finger-grooved wooden grip is in great shape with NO splits or cracks.The ?JEWELL 1918? marked scabbard is in very good shape and has a commensurate amount of the original blue on the lightly freckled throat and riveted chape. The leather body has light-moderate surface scuffs and retains much of the original olive green paint. This is a very nice Landers, Frary & Clark-made trench knife, and is in fine-near excellent condition overall.

    Priced at $1,050.00 plus $25.00 for U.S. Postal shipping. Three (3) day inspection. U.S. sales only.
