WWI U.S. Bolo M-1917 Knife w/ Scabbard

This WWI U.S. M-1917 Bolo Knife and canvas Scabbard is in very good
condition. The blade measures 10 1/8" long with an overall length of 15".
The blade retains its black finish, although it has been sharpened. The
handle has wood grips held by two screws. The blade is marked, "U.S. Mod
1917, CT" on one side and "PLMB, St. Louis, 1918" (not completely sure of
the PLMB)..on the other side. The cross-guard is all metal and has the knot
hole in it. There is no rust to the knife and no damage to the wood. The
knife and scabbard would be in excellent condition if the blade was not
sharpened.
The scabbard measures 11" and is tan canvas and leather with a metal throat.
It is in excellent condition. The scabbard retains its metal belt wire loop.
The leather is clearly marked, "Brauer Bros., 1918". There is no damage, no
rust, broken pieces, or loose stitching to the scabbard. There is minor
soiling to the canvas (see pictures).
