The M1910 bolo knife, made at Springfield from 1910 to 1918, had been issued to aid in cutting through undergrowth and clearing fields of fire. The Model 1917 Bolo was an improvement that omitted the scabbard catch on the top of the grip. This is the Model 1917 made by both Plumb in St. Louis and the American Cutlery Company of Chicago.

The markings on the ricasso are, “U.S. MOD / 1918” and “PLUMB / PHILA. / 1918”. The blades and hilt fittings were originally blackened and this one still wears a dark patina. The guard shows similar tone. A single hole is drilled in the cross guard. Some dings on the thick spine of the blade where it was likely used as a hammer. The wood grips show light wear, with a few small chips at the pommel.

This comes with its correct Type-2 scabbard with olive drab webbing over a wood body with leather tip and a wire belt hook sewn to the reverse. The leather tip is clearly stamped “A.K. CO. / 1919 / P.U.P.” The web body is generally excellent, as is the leather scabbard tip.

This is a classic US military issue knife.  [jet] [ph:L]
