M1874 MESS UTENSIL SET w/ LEATHER SCABBARDS:
A nice Indian Wars Mess Utensil set including a M1874
Knife and M1874 Fork with both of the original arsenal
manufactured russet buff leather scabbards. The Fork
has full length, sharp tines and the cast iron handle.
The Knife is full form, without any sign of sharpening,
has some of the black lacquer on the handle and the
blade still retains some of the case coloring from the
tempering process. The blade does have some very light
pitting. The leather scabbards, made up by the arsenals
from scrap leather to keep the fork and knife from
tearing the haversacks and saddlebags, are soft leather
with all seams intact. This is a nice set that is
getting hard to find in one grouping. (040138) $120
