Re: Can I See Your Trench Knives?
Top one is a cut down P14 bayonet, bottom is a cut down Ross. I found a couple different stories about the P14, that the US had modified them to give to the french resistance, but that most had been used by the foreign legion. It's practically new, both blade and scabbard, it's probably a fake, but the price was right, and I liked how it looked. The Ross from what I can remember was done by the Canadian govt. after the ross was removed from service. I like the ross one best, it fits my hand pretty well.

It looks, the french bayonet is an original in all of it´s parts.
This bayo was in use in the LE, also in other French Army units and it´s not an WWII item.
There´re images, showing this knive´s used by Soldiers of the LE in Indo-Chine, and in Kolwezi.
A German trader sold this knives a couple of yrs. ago.
Best,
R.

Hi, this is a knife from the Italian Arditi.
Or am I wrong?
Bone plates grip the Ern
Your collection is fantastic!
sorry my poor english

Yes, the M1916 fighting knive was used in the Arditi units, (also, in the Czech Legion).
There´s an, (almost), similar knife called Model 1916, Pungale.
The blade was a shortened Vetterli blade also, but the hilt was different.
Btw, my English isn´t that proper either ! ...

I really like how those Italian knives look. They still have the old world dagger look, just classic, but then they are Italian hehe and both of you have pretty good english, better than my german lol
