Original era manufacture. Typical serrated wood, slab griped trench knife of WWI construction. Crown proof on one side of the ricasso, makers name on the other. The blade is quite clean with some scattered staining from age and cleaned corrosion. Decent black painted steel scabbard with an intact brown leather belt loop and pommel strap. Someone, perhaps the Doughboy who brought it home, scratched their initials HDS into the surface of the paint.
