Day 1 of Two Day General Auction
Lot 41:
1917 Dated US Army “Machine Gunners” Bolo Knife. These were the preferred knife of choice by the
machine gunners as they were not issued with bayonets. As it has a heat-treated carbon steel blade, they
were often used as a machete or even a hammer when making and concealing the gun nest. Made by the Springfield Armoury, Scabbard by Brauer Bros 1917. You will have to go a long way to find a better blade.
