Other side stamped "L.F. / (large flaming bomb Ordnance proof) / & C. / 1918". Top of blade fitted with large brown leather washer. Parkerized standard Patton-style guard with three embossed lines.

Hilt retains about 95-98% parkerized finish with a few scuffs on front of guard from storage. Grip and pommel are excellent with a few light marks. Grip screws have almost all of original finish. Scabbard excellent with some scattered staining and dark area directly below top mount. Mounts very good with some discoloration and small areas of paint loss.
