Knife, Trench, M1917, L.F. & C., with Scabbard, 1918
€875.00
Tax included
Great genuine WWI US M1917 Trench Knife, manufactured by L.F. & C. and dated 1917. This dagger was the very first trench knife to be formally adopted by the US Army, based on various types in service in the French Army. Featuring a 8.8-inch, triangular-section, stiletto steel blade, this was quite an efficient thrusting weapon -- yet in the absence of cutting edge, it couldn't be used for any other purpose. The D-shaped handguard features seven triangular points, thus making a ready-to-use knuckle duster useful in close-quarter combat.
In very good overall condition depsite a surface oxydation on the guard, this amazing trench knife retains its original walnut handle. Comes in its original scabbard hallmarked Jewell and dated 1918.
Like its successor, the M1918 Trench Knife, this particular type remained in service during WWII, used by individual members of US shock troops such as Marines and airborne units.
