MAP1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2019 Hello Gents, New to this forum. As a quick intro I just thought I would show my small grouping of fairly common US edge weapons. I'm not really a US Militaria collector per se but do plan on building out over the coming years Having problems reducing file size so can only upload one "group" photo. Can post anything specific you might like to see Regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted April 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 13, 2019 Very nice collection. The hospital corps and bolo (I think) knives on the bottom look to be in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAP1 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted April 13, 2019 Thank you Sundance. Still getting through my "recruit" post limitations so this will be my last allowed until midnight tonight LoL. The Bolo is a model 1909 dated 1917 made by Fayette T Plumb, Philly, serial number 55578. The scabbard is dated 1915 and made by Rock Island Arsenal. Overall condition is ok with some pitting. Unfortunately someone years ago treated the leather on the scabbard and it is now rotting in some places. The Medical bolo is in much nicer condition and is made by Springfield dated 1910 serial number 13967. The scabbard is Rock Islands dated 1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactroop Posted April 14, 2019 Share #6 Posted April 14, 2019 Welcome aboard! You've got some examples I wouldn't mind finding pieces to add to my own collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAP1 Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted April 14, 2019 Thanks guys. Appreciate the feed back. Not actively looking for more edged US weapons but will always opportunistically purchase if I run across something that catches my eye.. These are just what I've picked up over the years. Mostly looking to expand my US awards collection this year I'm mostly a Third Reich collector but enjoy and collect other countries like the US as well. Happy to post any of the above separately if you wish to see anything in particular Regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
