TALLYHO Posted November 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2018 Just acquired what I would call an unusual trench knife and sheath set. When I first saw the blade I thought that sure looks like a Patton. I compared it to my 1913 model 1913 and found that the fuller end to the point matches, but there is a minimal fractional difference in the width as it tapers up. I don`t know if there were any variations in dimensions with the later year swords or not. Stacked leather handle, solid aluminium pinned pommel and brass guard. Blade is 8 1/4". LOA is 12 3/4". One could speculate about the marriage of the knife and the Garand scabbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikedon Posted November 7, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 7, 2018 VERY NICE! I am sure it is a Patton tip section. I bet there were slight variations in the sabers and dimensional variations between the two makers. I have never seen one exactly like that before.

Ray42 Posted November 7, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 7, 2018 I have seen one of these before, however I might have just been seeing the same one you have now if it was recently on eBay. My initial reaction was also that it was a Patton saber blade, however from the picture I thought the dimensions seemed off also. Glad to see it again because it is a neat piece.

TALLYHO Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted November 7, 2018 Ray42 you are right. When I saw it I had to take a chance. I thought the price point was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALLYHO Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted November 7, 2018 Great knives, or should I say daggers. There is no cutting or slashing with these. I especially fancy the one with the "S" guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted November 7, 2018 Share #10 Posted November 7, 2018 They're all beautiful. I'd love to run into one of that style someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
