Original WWII Trench Art Knife with 1945 Dated Sheath

Description

This is a one-of-a-kind original World War II “trench art” knife with a custom-made metal handle. The handle is hand-engraved with the name “CAPT GEORGE M. COHEN.” The knife is accompanied by a custom, handmade leather sheath, which is also a piece of military history. The sheath is hand-tooled and clearly marked with the year “1945,” a significant detail placing this item at the end of the war. This is a powerful, personal artifact from the era, created by or for a soldier. Both the knife and sheath show age and wear consistent with their history and origin.
