  • Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice example of a U.S. WWII Custom Made Steel Knuckle Duster, used for close combat in the field. These were often cast aboard large ships, who necessarily had small foundries and metalworkers needed to effect repairs on the various parts of a ship. Compared to their usual work, making cast brass knuckles was relatively simple. These look to be die cast, and also have what looks to be brass or nickel plating on part of the surface, to prevent corrosion.


    These would have been highly effective, and are definitely a step above the often crudely made examples we see. The knuckles measure approximately 4" x 2 1/2", and would make a great display piece. They come in a very nice leather carry case, with snap closure, measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2".
