M-1890 Intrenching Knife US Springfield c/w Sheath - Serial # 703

The M-1890 Intrenching Knife was a change in nomenclature for the M-1880 Hunting
Knife in order to emphasize that combat was the primary purpose of the knife, not
hunting and skinning game.
In 1893, the Springfield Armory made 501 M-1890 Intrenching Knives.

Hard to find in this condition. Marked US Springfiled
Scabbard marked Rock Island Arsenal - WTG. RIA on Scabbard hasp.
Blade shows very light sharpening on one side, otherwise close to mint.
Oak handle has some chips at end..

Scabbard has tight stitching, sbut is badly damaged where brass hanger meets the scheath.

All in all aa excellant example of a rare Military Knife.
