Opinons on Modified WWI Trench Knife

Recommended Posts

Found this while going through my fathers stuff and am not sure on its authenticity.

 

The knuckle guard has been removed and you can tell that the edges have been made smooth post removal of the guard.

Unfortunately, there are no markings.

 

Any idea who made it and if it is real?

 

Also, is there any value to an item like this?

 

Thank you in advance for any information!

I agree it is an ACC and it is an authentic piece that was made in WWI. They were marked on the inside of the knuckle bow that was removed.

 

It has some value as a curiosity piece for a specialty collector. The absence of the knuckle bow and no sheath affect the value dramatically. I would guess you would sell it for $40 - $70 on eBay.

Was your father in the service? If so when and what branch, if you don't mind saying.

 

He was in the Navy during Vietnam but collected a lot.
