These are real stickers!

Might be illegal, but what the hell! You don't wear these going to the store!

 

[JShirley]

Illegal to carry, perhaps. Shouldn't be illegal to own in any state.

No but they could come in handy if you were involved in a little thing called "trench warfare"!

 

[dave38215656]

I understand in WW1 the Huns complained about these and the 12 ga pumps we used, Oh Well!

 

[ApacheCoTodd]

Me? they're cool but I can take 'em or leave 'em.

Now those cleaning kits?

That's a whole other kettle of fish.

So are those classified as dirks or daggers or both?

 

[rcmodel]

Well, officially, they are U.S. Model 1917-1918 Trench Knives.

The one on the left with the bent 'knuckles' is probably an ONC, or H.D. & S.

The other two are probably L.F.&C, or A.C. Co.

But the OP needs to identify them himself.

Nice collection though, regardless!!

One is AC & 2 are LF co. The 1912 kits will post in 1911 section. I think 5 of them.

Might be illegal,

That would depend upon the state and local laws. We've seen Knife Rights chip away at restrictions the past several years where there are fewer and fewer states with limitations on what you can own or carry. In TN you could actually carry them since we have no restrictions as of 1 July 2015.

They were never "illegal" in warfare.

 

[4thPointOfContact]

Would be perfectly legal in Georgia with the caveat that if over 5-inches in length they require a Georgia Weapons License to carry.

 

[JShirley]

Have they changed GA Law? Used to be illegal to carry knives "designed for offense or defense".

 

[owlhoot]

Hso, while knife restrictions have been lifted, isn't it still illegal to carry knucks, blackjacks, slap sticks, etc.?

 

[JShirley]

4P, it looks like the "designed for offense and defense" language is still intact, but it now applies only to 5" and longer blades.

I think knuckles are still illegal and you'd have to deal with the argument that a guard is or isn't "knuckles". D guards are a southern tradition so you may have some support in the argument that a knuckle guard doesn't fall under the knuckle restriction since you can't pocket it or hide the presence.
