MODEL 1874 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.
