M1874 MESS UTENSIL SET w/ LEATHER SCABBARDS:
An 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,
with minor pitting. The Knife is a veteran, showing
evidence of having been sharpened, but surprisingly
retaining its full length, and with minor pitting and a
darkened surface. 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. Showing signs of use in
the field, this is still a nice set to display with your
mess kit, cup and saddlebags or haversack. (050105)
