This week we are listing one item as a test for eBay's new Managed Payment System, in order to property ensure the new system is working and transactions are efficient. This item will ship to North America (Canada and U.S.A.) only due to this being a test auction, We will be having a large Militaria auction soon, thank you for your patience and hope you are having a great summer!
Up for auction is a rare WW1 American made US MOD M1917 Bolo Fighting Knife, in great condition. The knife is large and of fine quality, with a nice weight to it-The blade is roughly 17 inches in scabbard, with a total length of 15 inches and a blade of just over 10 inches.. The blade is marked on lower section "U.S. MOD. 1917 C.T." on one side and "A.C. CO. CHICAGO 1918" on the other. The handle has a hand fitted design with grooves, and metal accents in good worn condition. Upper Cross guard has a wonderful small stamping with lower flaming bomb marking present. The knife fits loosely into its original sheath, which is the rarer large leather version with a metal tab on top. Beneath the tab is a clear makers marking "USMC BOYT 45" , meaning the bolo fighting knife was repurposed in WW2 and marked on leather scabbard. A beautiful example of a WW1 American fighting knife repurposed for WW2 use, this would be an excellent addition to any vintage Military blade collection!
This would look great in any quality Military blade collection! Shipping is anywhere in North America (Canada and U.S.A.) -For this item, shipping is only in North America as this is a test item for eBays new Managed Payment System! Please stay tuned for a large Militaria auction coming soon!
