A friend has asked me to find out if this sword has any appreciable value. Frankly, I have never really seen anything like it. I have never seen such a utilitarian sword. It is dated 1914 with the letters S and A. It has what appears to be a rubber handle or grip (or whatever you call it on a sword). The scabbard is very utilitarian and almost looks like a heavy canvas. It has a flaming bomb stamp on it, which I assumis the the US quartermaster's stamp? Can anyone tell me anything about this? Thanks all.
