Second Pattern Commando Dagger……..SOLD

Rare Nickel Finished Second pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Knife

 A rarely found Second Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Fighting Knife in wonderful condition.

Overall length 11.1/2″.  Solid knurled handle of 4.5/8″ with rounded plain button nut.  The two-sided blade is 6.1/2″ in length with a small triangular flat just visible at the hilt.

The plain rounded cross guard is nearly two inches across.

This is identified as a rare second pattern in the nickel finish of the earlier first pattern knives.  The blade is very good with minor areas of mild corrosion which are almost un-noticeable.   Attention with the correct grade wire wool and oil will probably deal with it.  Weight and balance are all reminiscent of the earlier model.  There are a couple of light dings and imperfections in the top of the handle near the button-shaped nut, but apart from that it is in excellent condition.

There are no letters stamped on the cross guard but this is not unusual.  There is no sheath.

A rare and interesting knife from the famous stable of Fairbairn-Sykes.

£ 695…..SOLD
