One of my favorite knives from my dad’s collection. Not sure when or where he got it. As a Navy Veteran, this one speaks to me, even beyond the personal connection.    

And yet… the posting says… SOLD!! 

As far as the markings on the refurbished scabbard go; the W means that the leather has been waxed which appeared from 1923 onwards and the 40 may be the date. The S.EN would probably be the makers initials of the leather section, one of the later ones which does not appear to show up in Skennerton's books that I could see at this time. Cheers. 

Wow, very nice.

Hi, just saw you post and question about the finish of the model 1913, Cavalry Sabre, aka Patton Saber. her is a pic from: Swords and Sabers of the Armory at Springfield book hope it helps. very often once the saber left service it got a paint job of some sorts. I restored one, an LF&C and the black paint came off very cleanly revealing the book mentioned brown finish. All my others I just have not had the time to start. bill  

For what it's worth: a small (3/4" x 3/4") CAA Victory pin from my collection. Tough to see, but under the upper part of the pin is marked with a raised "Sterling" and "A.E.&Co, Utica, N.Y."

could this General Order be numbers for Air medals?

Nice find. Personally, I'm not a fan of the high polish, but perhaps some of the original patina will eventually return. Perhaps you can post some of your wife's other finds in the Homefront forum 👍
