WW1 L.F&C U.S. 1918 TRENCH KNIFE WITH SHEATH (79559)

Original WW1 1918 Knuckle knife made by LF&C with a 6.75" double edge blued blade, cast bronze knuckle handle and iron skull crusher pommel with the original metal sheath marked at the top LF&C 1918. The guard has been flattened on the left side of the handle typical of knives that were carried so it would ride flat against the body and prevent pinching. The scabbard has the usual tabs broken off and normal wear with some of the original finish remaining. These handles were originally blacked over the bronze finish and some of the original finish is still visible in protected areas. The blade has a couple wear marks from the scabbard as usually seen but nearly all of the original bluing remaining. Overall in excellent condition for the age.
