Rare, WW2, FS Cast Hilt Variation Fighting Knife And Scabbard. ED 2087. - ED 2087
This is an excellent, original, WW2 variation of the FS Fighting knife. It has a one piece casting of the cross guard and grip which has bronze colouration with light ringing on the grip. A curious feature of the construction is it's solid metal projection beneath the cross guard, formed in one piece as an extension to it and serving as the leather washer commonly fitted to FS knives. The blade which is clean is similar to the Third Pattern version but is unmarked. (Pages 102 and 103 item 523-25 of Stephens book 'Fighting Knives' show examples of these knives and described them as extremely rare). The knife is complete with original leather scabbard. The brown leather scabbard is rivetted and stitched with single belt loop. The leather and stitching is intact. The belt loop is stamped 'Made in Sheffield, England' and the initials 'W.G.C' have been Contemporaneously scratched lightly into the leather. Price for this increasingly hard to find, sought after, FS Knife & Scabbard includes UK delivery. ED 2087.
