Original Early 20th Century French Navy Brass Handle Diver's Knife with Scabbard - RARE Bren LMG Early Gun Powder right upOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This is a rare example of an early 20th Century French Navy Diver's Knife, complete with the original brass scabbard. We have consulted many historical photographs, and the style of the handle and the type of securing nut on the end of the pommel definitely match the French style. They are similar to those used by Germany, however the shape of the handle and scabbard are different from the more angular German design.
