MODEL 1874 MESS UTENSIL SET -KNIFE AND FORK BOTH MARKED
“US”:
A nice Indian Wars Mess Utensil set including a Model
1874 Fork and Knife that are both marked “US” –
the knife on the blade, and the fork on the reverse of
the shank between the tines and the handle. Finding a
“US” marked knife is notable enough, but “US” marked
forks are rare indeed. For some reason, forks and
spoons were not marked as often as the knives. The fork
has full length, sharp tines and the cast iron handle.
The knife is full form, in what is believed to be the
earlier sharp pointed style, without any sign of
sharpening, and with some light pitting that does not
effect the stamped “US”. This is a nice set with the
particularly desirable “US” markings on the knife and
fork. (025) $175
