Chili Ron Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Howdy, NICE work. Any close ups are welcome, too. I remember an old beatup uncle coming to Christmas dinner when I was very young. He had injuries I didn't understand. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 What is on the doughboy's right hip? Is that a trench knife? Can't see it very well. Nice display. I see you got a replica Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 That's a nice looking Fairborn Sykes fighting knife on the 1st Special Forces. What type impalement/slicing device is on the Doughboy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 The Doughboy knife is an M1917 trench knife. Good sticker but kind of fragile. It was replaced with the M1918 whish had a more robust blade. You will see pictures of guys carrying the M1918 in WW2. The Forceman has a V-42. It was designed for the Brigade by Col Frederick. Like the Marine Raider stiletto, the V-42 is very similar to the Fairbairn Sykes dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
