J. Frank Norfleet Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 A WW 1 US Trench Knife. I know nothing about this and am not a collector of Military knives. This was in my grandmother's underwear drawer after she died. None of the family served in WW 1, I am guessing she picked it up at the thrift shop where she worked. The scabbard is the usual for this brand of knife. Made by A.C. Co. From what I can find on the internet there were two manufactures of trench knives and this is the rarer. Blade looks sharpened (file marks) but I don't know if that is the way it should be. I see this brand for sale for $550. So I'm pricing it at $300 shipped to you. First "I'll take it" here has priority. JFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LQ Jones Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Neat. I'd put it on eBay though. LQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Frank Norfleet Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 It will go to eBay if there are no takers here. I'd rather deal with SASS people though. One more photo. The blade is triangular, no cutting edges just a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Frank Norfleet Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Was asked what markings are on the back of the scabbard. The only marking is a name written in ink and it is unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
