1917 Dated Trench Art Knife

Price: $245.00

Very unique piece of trench art. Carved wooden handled knife with a French sword pommel incorporated into the design. One side of the wooden grip has the date 1917. The other side has a skull and crossbones along with the initials A-M. Blade is still quite sharp. A little on the crude side. Overall length is a touch under 12 inches. No scabbard present. Possibly used as a close combat knife. Was sourced from a German estate.
