VERY RARE SCAGEL MADE AND IDENTIFIED MILITARY FIGHTING KNIFE.

VERY RARE SCAGEL MADE AND IDENTIFIED MILITARY FIGHTING KNIFE. Signed Scagel-made military fighters are very scarce, especially those with name, rank, and serial numbers stamped on them. This piece is pictured on page 147 and also on page 140 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie. The overall length is 13-1/4″ and the blade length is 7-3/4″, and is double edged dagger ground. It is stamped with Scagel’s name stamp on one side and the Kris on the other side. Uniquely it has “Pvt. Richard D. McCann” stamped on one side of the guard and the soldier’s serial number “36470749” stamped on the other side of the brass guard. It has a stacked leather and red fiber spacer handle and a fine piece of whitetail deer crotch stag with one rivet as the pommel. The very attractive Scagel-made leather sheath has ornate and fancy embossing and the soldier’s name, rank, and serial number carved by hand on the back side of the sheath. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: This piece is very tight and solid, appears to have little or no use for its intended purpose. The handle is in perfect condition, the blade has no nicks or damage whatever. The blade surface is original with Scagel’s grind lines showing minimal amount of mottling and fine scratches due to handling and storage in the sheath. This is a highly sought after and desirable knife. 4-45550 JL30 (18,000-26,000)
