M-1910 BOLO Knife Amazon In Oakland - United States

M-1910 BOLO knife amazon in oakland, wooden handle held by two rivets. Blade complete in its length, manufacture SA 1917 and US 36636. Complete sheath in canvas and leather. Hook fastening to the belt present. Note some patina of the room. Illustrated on page 188 of Dough boy To GI by Kenneth Lewis. Springfield Armory 1917.
This is without doubt one of the most important collections of US Army equipment in Europe. It is, without a doubt, also the most prestigious. Kenneth Lewis was 8 years old when he bought his first piece of militaria in England.

This passion led him to form a considerable collection of which most of the objects, new of stocks, constituted before time an almost complete catalog raisonne of the equipment of the army of the United States of America. The importance of this fund led his friends to convince him to write a book on the subject. This was the first Bible on the subject entitled From Dough boy to GI published in 1993.

 This book became the reference on the subject for Anglo-Saxon circles around the world. Most of the items in the book will be part of the sale. It is, doubtless, one of the most important collections of material of the American army in Europe. It is also the most prestigious. ?
