An authentic Austro-Hungarian military trench knife, Model 1917, in original antique condition. The dagger features a straight, double-edged steel blade, a steel guard, and simple wooden grip scales secured by steel rivets. It is housed in its original steel scabbard. Issued to Austro-Hungarian troops during World War I, this model was designed as a combat boot knife for close-quarters trench warfare. The minimalist construction reflects the wartime resource shortages and need for rapid manufacture. The wooden grip scales show natural aging and dark service staining but remain structurally sound. The blade has turned a grey color with light oxidation, and the steel scabbard is intact with its original belt loop.
