that cut down French 1866. Does the spine still have the French markings? I'll try to shovel the dust off the case my similarly reworked Prussian M71 is in and get some pics tomorrow.

As promised, although a day later than planned.

Made by Amberg.

In 1884.

Modified 1n191?, found on the battlefield in 1917.

I find it interesting that the "FOUND"appears to have been done by a handmade stamp but the rest is hand engraved.

My only other trench knives, a Hammesfahr and an unmarked double edged style.

The tip of the sheath on the lopwer knife has been clipped off, presumably to allow drainage in the wet trenches. I've seen the same thing done with bayonets.
