kanemono Posted March 26, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2017 I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this marking on a LF&C 1918 trench knife before? It looks like arabic lettering but I have no idea what it is. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted March 26, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 26, 2017 Interesting. Looks like a British broad arrow, a crescent and some eastern writing. I'll be interested to see what the more enlightened folks come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted March 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2017 Greetings Dick,By no means "conclusive" here's a possible use/translation of the script. I posted your knife on another forum, I hope you do not mind. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/248827-arabic-script-on-a-us-m1918-mki-trench-knife/&_fromLogout=1 V/r Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanemono Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Lance, Thank you for posting the knife on the other forum. The results are very interesting. My guess is that US surplus sold or given to a middle eastern police force. Thanks again. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
