This was the US Army's second attempt at the bolo; is a well made yet less expensive than the US Model 1904 "Bolo" or "Smatchet" Knife, its predecessor.

The grips are wood, held in place by three flush-mount brass rivets. The cross- guard is of steel, straight cross-guard. The 14" blade is of steel usually marked with the US Ordnance Bomb (aka "flaming onion"), US, the date, and a serial number.

The scabbards are of thick brown leather with brass throat. The hanger is of leather loop type.

If you need further information concerning markings or blades, please post your questions to me via E-mail.
