1917 US Trench Knife : Value And Is It Real Or Fake?

[TheAlpineWolf]

Hi All,
I have the opportunity to purchase this 1917 trench knife and just thought I would ask if anyone on here could identify its authenticity! The owner has no story behind how he got it but it seems to be in well used condition. He is asking a firm $800 (AUD) and I'm not sure if its quite worth that price considering condition and missing scabbard.
Let me know what you think!
Best Regards,
Sam.
