Nichols WWII knife, Brass handle, curled guard, Alfred Cornish saddlemaker sheath, leather lanyard still intact, and buffalo nickel inset into the pommel (Nichols was stopped from using nickels on his pommels at one point during WWII by the war production board as nickel was an essential war material). ''Edward P. Lynn'' with his serial number is stamped into the sheath, and onto the guard. Elegant blade shape, 13'' oal, 7 5/8'' blade. Overall tarnish on the blade but little blade wear, giving it a nice patina and character for a knife of this age.
