An original and unusual c.WW1 alloy-hilted military fighting trench knife dagger of a type carried during the First World War. Not sure of the country of origin with this one as it was probably made in theatre so is probably a one-off. Have seen these carried by both British, French and German troops. The style was also carried through to the 2nd World War. The hilt is made from shaped alloy and with a copper wire ferrule. The alloy probably came from war materiel that was lying about the battlefield.
Blade of stiletto type and with wicked point
The dagger is actually quite well made and this is especially so with the blade that is double-edged and with a wicked point. In good overall condition. Blade length is 7.75 inches (12 inches overall).
