**RARE**WW1 French Model 1916 ‘Abourgad’ (Variant of "The Avenger of 1870") Fighting Knife & Scabbard. Sn 19873 - 19873
From 1915 the French began to develop trench weapons at the Châtellerault arms factory, with Lieutenant-Colonel Coutrot experimenting by converting existing military swords and bayonets into combat daggers. Several designs were decided upon and then sent to be manufactured by private firms. Despite such variety of knives being issued to French troops during the War, there was only one, the Modèle 1916, that received an official military designation. Given this fact, it is strange that the dagger was in fact devised by the cutlery manufacturer Astier-Prodon of Thiers, rather than Châtellerault. It was subsequently produced by a number of other civilian manufacturers to keep up with demand. Early models lack a metal reinforcing ferrule, to strengthen the connection of blade to hilt found on later examples. Some of the Modèle 1916 daggers are marked 'Le Vengeur de 1870' on the blade, referencing the fall of Paris and French defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. This is an excellent, rare to find French Model 1916 Fighting Knife. WW1 variants by French makers available to French troops are identical to the Avenger of 1870 examples but without the Avenger inscription, see page 29 items 109 & 110 of Fighting Knives by Fred Stephens where a similar Model 1916 / Avenger variant to ours is illustrated, with a scabbard identical to ours. Our knife by the French maker Abourgad has a 6 ¼” long steel double edged dagger blade with medial ridge and is correctly the same form as those found on European manufactured versions of the American pattern 1918 knuckle daggers. The blade is without Avenger inscription, the shank is manufacturer marked ‘Abourgad’, the name forming the pony tail of their oriental man’s head trademark. The flat, shaped steel cross guard has a small acceptance stamp ‘B’ and is numbered ‘558’ (the number 8 is double struck). The knife measures 10 ¾” overall length. The original solid wood grip has a flat, round steel pommel tang screw / bolt (the 2 tone colour of the handle which can be seen in the images is just grain colour variation not a crack or damage). The hilt has a metal ferrule at the cross guard indicating mid to late war production. The blade and grip are totally secure with no movement. The correct original scabbard is steel has correct elongated belt loop bar. The scabbard is stamped ‘383’ at the throat. The scabbard has some minor dents and scuffs to the original black paint finish consistent with age and service use. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 19873

The Jambiya also known as the Arab knife is in some modification found in every country in which the Arabs have lived. The blade is always curved and double edged.
