WW2 US Army M3 Fighting Knife By Utica & M8 Scabbard By BM Co (Beckwith Manufacturing Company) With Integral Frog. ED 903 - ED 903
The M3 fighting knife was made for U.S. forces during 1943 and 1944. Early versions made in 1943 had their blades stamped with model designation, maker’s name and sometimes date. Later in 1944 to prevent weakening of blades the stampings were made on the knives’ guards (see M.H.Cole, ‘U.S Military Knives Bayonets and Machetes Book III’ page 95 and page 97 No 12). This is an excellent original WW2 US M3 Fighting Knife with guard stamped blade & M8 Scabbard, the integral frog correctly without wire belt bar which was added to later M8A1 variants (see page 104 of Cole’s book). It has a clean 6 ½” steel blade with medial ridge. The guard is stamped by the manufacturer 'US M3 Utica' (Utica Cutlery USA). The pommel has the Frankford arsenal ignited grenade inspection mark. The correct compressed leather ringed handle is tight and has just service wear to be expected. The knife is complete with its original M8 scabbard with integral green webbing frog with single retaining strap and press stud fastener. The upper mount of the scabbard is stamped 'US M8' & by the manufacturer 'BM Co' (Beckwith Manufacturing Company). The green plastic body of the scabbard has just light service wear. The tip of the scabbard is holed for thigh cord. The price includes UK delivery. ED 903 (American knives & knife bayonets box)

Late 1800's- Early 1900's, Large Malayan Native Kris Dagger With Ornate Metal Hilt & Scabbard, Hand Forged Acid Wash Blade. Sn 23677 - 23677
The kris is a type of dagger, traditionally worn as a status symbol and carried by warriors. These Malayan daggers were said to have originated in Java in the 14th Century but were adopted in all parts of the Archipelago with broad variations between the islands of Bali, Java & Sumatra. The kris is characterised by its distinctive wavy blade (see 383 to 393 of ‘A Glossary Of The Construction Decoration & Use Of Arms & Armour by Stone where many variants o.f kris are described and illustrated). The blade is given its characteristic shape by folding different types of metal together and then washing it in acid. Kris were often infused with arsenic to add colour / brightness during their forging but the method of doing this was a closely guarded secret among blacksmiths. This is an excellent Malayan Kris most likely made in the late 1800's -Early 1900's. It has an attractive 13" long acid washed, hand forged Kris blade which incorporates its ornate barbed design at the hand guard. The metal handle has ornate foliate decoration. The dagger measures 16 ¾” overall and is complete with its original matching foliate decoration devices scabbard. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23677 (in Tanto box armoury)
