∙ 16y agoProbably not. Most of the replica knives do not have the "LF&C 1918" beneath the "US 1918"
However, better fakes of this knife have surfaced. The only way to be certain is to have a military knife collector look at it for you.

∙ 16y agoThere are many websites online retailing the US 1918 Trench knife with Brass Knuckles: * http://www.extremely-sharp.com/es/catalog/30021.html * http://www.trueswords.com/1918-trench-knife-p-2846.html
Take it to a collectors show. They are more than happy to show you if they think you were scammed. to start with, look for "LF & C" stamped on the knife. Repros say some other company. Replicas worth $25 are marked US 1918 on the brass handle.
yes, 1918 LF&C mfg. trench knife. the handle can be removed but not recommended.
yes, brass knuckle trench knife made by L&FC (I think) in the US. Knuckle knife dated 1918. Although knuckle portion was removable, it generally was not taken apart. It was carried in a scabbard made for the knife. It is a collectable item...............
I have one for sale but do not have the scabbard. woodreclaimer@gmail.com Freddie MS
The Knife - 1918 was released on: USA: February 1918
Cesca Chenevix Trench died in 1918.
Hard to say what the 1918 OCL trench knife is worth because they are so rare. It's believed only a few dozen exist and many of them are just the brass handles with no blade. I believe the ones with blades are much more rare than the ones without and depending on condition they could easily bring well over $2,000 if the blade is original to the knife. Beware of fakes. The ones without blades would probably be worth half that.
You can sell it to me.the best place I know of would be www.gunbroker.com. They are an online auction sibling to eBay. You may also try eBay but I don't know if they sell knives there or not.
4 August 1914-11 November 1918
It was a WWI military knife, it should have wood grips and a blued finish.
Trenches have been used in war since ancient times, but trench warfare was a feature unique to World War 1, from 1914 to 1918.
