Knife, Trench, M1918, L.F.&C., with Scabbard, USM8, Modified
Rare genuine WWI US Army M1918 Trench Knife, featuring the characteristic knuckle cast handle and double-edged blade.
Manufactured by L.F.&C. in 1918.
This type was widely issued to US Rangers, Marines and paratroops during WWII, until officially superseded by the USM3 in 1943 -- however, many warriors would still prefer the M1918 Trench Knife, as seen in numerous wartime photos.
The left side of the guard and the spur located on the pommel have been cut off.
Comes in some original USM8 bakelite scabbard, of which the canvas belt loop has been superseded by a thick leather version fitted with a bent-wire hook and a securing strap (snap fastener in working order).
Great homogeneous set, in good overall condition.
