REDUCED PRICES ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW

1. Consignment ~ TO ~ U.S 1918 AuLion Knife. Little doubt that this knife & scabbard have “been there.” Probable WWII, but very possible WWI… blade is full and certainly cleaned since the war. Has been sharpened more than once in the last 107 years. Original scabbard retains the belt hooks (unusual) and the tip has been flattened some. The top of the guard has been removed. Too bad this knife can’t talk… $1300

3. SOLD~ Consignment ~ TQ ~ Possibly the nicest example of a Dutch Stormdolk M-1915 Fighting Knife / Dagger in captivity. Full 8” double edged retains the original near needle point, about 95% of the blue finish and has never been sharpened! Wood handle is 100% with no cracks or nicks. The guard is numbered 2602 C. The belt loop on the scabbard has the same number. The scabbard is near perfect and the leather is all intact and supple. I can’t imagine how to upgrade this example. $695

5. Consignment ~ RG ~ USM-3 Camillus 1943. Blade dated. 6 ½” blade has careful sharpening. Guard is loose because the first washer has deteriorated about ½ of its original thickness. The balance of the handle is solid. Rather scarce L&C M-6 scabbard is excellent, save the often seen removal of the wire belt hook at the top. $950

6. 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. $1095

7. 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. $550

A NEW BOOK: Clandestine Knives of WWII-- 172 full-color pages of the many styles of clandestine knives and other non-traditional weapons carried by the members of the SAS, SOE, OSS and other clandestine agencies. They were carried by Agents in all theaters of World War II. It was imperative to keep one’s weapons hidden, therefore, they had to be small and easily concealed. Most of the weapons illustrated here are extremely rare and seldom found for sale. Copies of this book are avail. directly from the author for $60 (including shipping in the USA.) David W. Decker, 60 Steuben Street, Addison, NY 14801 or emal: ghdave2@hotmail.com

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.
