1. Consignment ~ TO ~ WWI U.S. 1918 Au Lion Trench Knife. Original WWI LF&C scabbard with both belt hangers still intact. 6 ½” blade shows some very careful sharpening.

3. Consignment ~ RR ~ WWI LF&C 1918 MK-1 Trench Knife. Likely WWII usage. Unusual that none of the guard or knuckle bow tips have been removed…all intact. 6 ¼” blade shows quite a bit of sharpening, but no nicks or corrosion. Obviously, WWII used. Pommel nut has been flattened. Original metal sheath has been incorporated into the replacement scabbard. Replacement scabbard is very well made and fits the knife perfectly. I would put the scabbard as very late war or mabe even Korean War usage. In any case—this is a great example of an issue 1918 LF&C. $1495

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.
