Description

1909 Hospital Bolo Made At Springfield Armory 1910, with scabbard marked “ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL /1916. T.C.C.”

The 13 3/4 inch blade is full length, in very good condition, bright with strong markings.  Pitting on both sides of the blade in about the same area, otherwise retains a great deal of original polish.  “S A (over) flaming bomb, 1910.”  On the other side marked, “U.S. / 5292” serial number.  Wood grips show use, but are very good.

The russet leather scabbard was made at R.I.A. and shows some light wear, with all stitching tight,

A nice example for a WWI hospital bolo.
