TrenchRat Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share #29 Posted October 31, 2018 Here is my purported WWI era "baton carrier". It looks to me made from an old 19th century bayonet scabbard(?)... Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP25 Posted October 31, 2018 Share #30 Posted October 31, 2018 TranchRat - ther were no issued carriers for clubs in WWI, but this sure shows the ingenuity of the American soldier........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRIS FORD Posted November 7, 2018 Share #36 Posted November 7, 2018 Being drunk on liberty and disorderly wouldn't pan out well with these 2 guys! Interesting how low the neckerchief knot was then..you see it creep up all the way almost to the T shirt collar in WW2 to bottom of jumper V...and everywhere in between When I was in , we were taught that the knot should fall directly at the the top of the V of the jumper collar. https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/uniformregulations/uniformcomponents/Pages/3501_38.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsca Posted November 7, 2018 Share #37 Posted November 7, 2018 Great thread. This one was an estate sale pickup. Unmarked. No info from the sale. Short, with lead plugs. MP baton or....a fisherman's "Priest" for pacifying that large toothy fish thrashing around in the bottom of your boat? Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlewilly Posted November 24, 2018 Share #38 Posted November 24, 2018 A thump on the noggin from a "priest" like this would surely make a believer out of anyone! MHJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
