Pink181 Posted September 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2007 My dad located this for me at a auction yesterday (09/15). A L.F.&C 1917 trench knife, unfortunately there was no sheath. Overall the knife is in great shape just a little surface rust in a couple of spots on the hand guard, and now for the kicker it went for only $20.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polygon Posted September 20, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 20, 2007 Wow, $20. I wish some day I can pick up a WWI trench knife for that price, although it seems that even if you go to a rural flea market, people always seem to have the value of edged weaponry down.
