REDUCED PRICES ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW

 

1. 

Consignment ~ RG ~ USM-3 Imperial 1943. Blade dated with SBL M-6 scabbard. The knife appears to me to be unsharpened. A couple of very tiny nicks along the edge. Blade finish is thin (Imperial had a thin finish, in my opinion).  No corrosion or even any scratches on the blade. Guard is tight. Handle is solid & pommel is tight. Black spacers front and back of the handle. Scabbard is SBL M-6; all there and supple leather. Original snap strap has been moved down about 1 inch. It is solid and works fine.                 $1295

2.   Consignment ~ TO ~ Another piece out of the 1918 knife collection that I am listing. This is, no doubt, another “Vietnam Trade Knife” as was described by Frank Trzaska.  This knife has a well-used WWII Robeson MK-II blade and scabbard.  A Vietnam Era 1918 handle and what looks to me to be a Vietnam era pommel.  Only the second one I have ever seen.          $600

  FAKE F/S--The following information is being presented in the hope that other collectors will not get burnt:
Fake 2nd Pattern F/S--Made to be a Free French  Variation--The 6 7/8" blade is blackened, under the black is what appears to be a copper plating or coating. The guard has a small Broad Arrow on the top side. The blackened knurled grip has a large Cross  imbedded in the knurling. The Cross is aprox 1/2" tall and 3/8" wide.  After talking with a couple friends, John Fischer and Tom Parker and re-reading a section of Ron Flook's book, I have come to the conclusion that this thing is bogus.
This additional information came from fellow collector Kerry Gordon.  (thanks Kerry)
I just thought that you might like to know that you weren't the only one ever caught with one of these - not only do I have the French version but I also have one with the Belgian Rampant Lion stamped into the hilt.

The real give away with these is that the blade tang doesn't run all the way through the pommel nut, there's about two threads empty at the end of the nut.  The other thing is that the brass pommel nuts are painted with gloss black paint rather than blackened.

Someone spent a lot of time and effort on these, the blades are tinned under the blackening and the hilts are blackened brass that is reasonable well checkered.
