WWII Fighting Knife, by Anderson, Glendale, CA, 6-7/8'' blade, 12'' overall, with red & black marbled plastic handle, in oxblood colored leather scabbard. Blade marked ''Anderson, Glendale, California/Made in USA''. Due to the large surplus of Model 1913 patent Cavalry sabers, several companies, most notably Anderson, cut these blades into three separate pieces and re-shaped the points, and then made cast plastic handles. This particular example was made from the butt section of the sword, originally an LF&C 1919 dated blade. Condition is excellent showing little use. Cast plastic grip with minor scuffs. Thong hole has not been drilled all the way thru. Est.: $350-$500.
