tony75 Posted June 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2019 Hello What are your thoughts on this Handle? I don't know much about these knives except they are a minefield with many variations. Thank you Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

militariaone Posted June 16, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 16, 2019 Greetings Tony, Unfortunately, your handle is not an original, but a reproduction. Go here http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/m1918mk1.htm and look at the 11th handle down from the top of the page listed as "A pretty good quality repro, look close." Best Regards, Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted June 16, 2019 Share #8 Posted June 16, 2019 Agreed. While a really good quality repop, the lettering, size, and position is closer to an LF&C - but lacks their mark. The quality is actually a little too nice to be an Au Lion - the castings on those appeared rougher. Greetings Tony, Unfortunately, your handle is not an original, but a reproduction.
