Description

I bought this lot together some time ago, full well knowing that the fork was not “US” marked, which it should be.  I is assumed that all issue utensils are so stamped, otherwise the contractor sold on the civilian market this same pattern utensils without markings.  Taking this into account, I did not separate the fork out because it matches the condition of the knife similarly.

A good about of black paint or japanning remains on the handles of both.  The knife measures 9 inches and the fork is 7 3/4 inches.

The scarce component in this set is the spoon with is seldom found.  It shows good use, with a good deal of the tin finish having flaked away, leaving a dark patina overall.  The spoon has the “US” stamping on the upper handle.  It measures 7 3/4 inches approximately.

The set come with original leather scabbards for the F & K.

A complete and ready to go.
