Stamped into the guard are unit markings 1. T.&.F.2.4. (Transport Pool Column of a Service Battalion).Matching quality heavy steel scabbard with a wonderful old dark patina finish without corrosion pitting. This is also unit marked, and almost matching, 1. T. & F. 2. 5. .Only one of the original suspension bands remains, without its ring, the other band was either removed or was lost over time. This is really a sound old weapon for its age.
