Description
Serial number 143466A denotes year of manufacture as 1883
The P-38 was specifically chosen for the task due to its distinctive shape (dual-boom fuselage) and the ease with which fleet anti-aircraft gunners could distinguish it from enemy aircraft
The entire sword has been cleaned and painted
It features a heavy smooth bent steel hilt with split muzzle ring and a single piece crossguard with Arabic numbers for serial 8229 which could be a post 1928 modification from when the blade was shortened
Half crazed at what we had just seen
