Some M1917's and M1918's

I haven't posted on this forum in years.
But, rediscovered it today, so have made a few posts:

I don't really collect trench knives, but, over the years I accumulated these ones.
I believe they make for interesting WWI and WWII study.
(BTW of the three 1918 MK1 Trench Knives's not one came with an original sheath, they break easily or were lost on purpose.)

LF&C 1918:
Nothing too special, just a larger blade than most.
LF&C 1918:
This one has a lot of the original black remaining, for that reason it doesn't get handled much.
Interesting slightly folded guard, for ease of carrying I guess. This was bought from the son of the vet, the son was apathetic and had no info.
Au Lion 1918:
Acquired this from a collectors forum. I think it's a really interesting how it differs from the LF&C variant. They were produced in France for the AEF.

LF&C 1917
LF&C 1917
ACCO 1917
The ACCO is a somewhat rare variant of the M1917 MKII Trench Knife.
