Overview
Extremely hard to find. This is a WWI trench knife made by L.F & C. Cast Bronze handle with U.S. 1918 stamped. Blade in excellent shape for its age. Comes with a leather sheath with original metal scabbard inside. The sheath has "MAJORS D.O." on the back and on the front it appears the original owner put all the places he carried this knife. It reads "San Diego, New River, Cokiak, Dutch Harbor, Nome" then a line and "USS Enterprise, USS Spica, USS Charleston, USS Presdent Polk Hayes" then another line and "Noumea". Has some scratches and light oxidation, has been resharpened, part of the guard has been removed to make it easier to carry (we have seen a few like this). otherwise good condition for its age. It looks like the inscription on the handle has been filled with white to make it stand out.
