Stony Posted September 12, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 12, 2013 I believe this is a military comb, but I could be wrong. Has same handle as mess kit or chow hall utincils with black plastic handle. It's maker marked L.F.&C. 1941. Has anyone seen one of these before?

History Man Posted September 12, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2013 Personally, it looks like a modified utensil...not sure if it would be a comb though. Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLegGI Posted September 12, 2013 Share #3 Posted September 12, 2013 Kind of looks like a hacksaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted September 12, 2013 I actually found 4 of them together, so I'm thinking if they modified a utencil, they did at least 4 of them. Not strong enough to be a hack saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted September 12, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 12, 2013 looks like a home made pocket fish scaler made from a WWII mess kit knife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted September 12, 2013 Share #6 Posted September 12, 2013 looks like a home made pocket fish scaler made from a WWII mess kit knife Good idea. In any event, it wasn't made as whatever it is now, it was formerly a mess knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantMajorGray Posted September 13, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 13, 2013 That would be a very painful comb to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted September 13, 2013 Share #9 Posted September 13, 2013 Nit picker? That's what I thought Hawk'! Not unusual for some troops in the field to pick up lice back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted September 13, 2013 The blade part of this is definately machine made and the blades themselves are beveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdriver Posted September 13, 2013 Share #11 Posted September 13, 2013 It is definitely a phenalic handle mess kit knife cut down and modified. My guess is a nitt comb or someone's mustache comb. Great for getting those nasty K-ration chunks out of you molest-ache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
