Think he may be aiming it at the collector that has a dozen first pattern and would be tempting at selling a few with him so they can add that to the collection.

 

For me, it would have needed to be owned by Paddy Payne or Montgomery to fetch that price.

 

Who knows though, lots of wealthy collectors about that may be tempted by one with provenance, which i think is a lot of the value here.

Hello guys.   I collect Fairbairn Sykes Flighting Knives.  I’m looking for a nice original wooden handle Fairbairn Sykes knife to purchase. Let me know if you have some thing that you would like to sell.  Jim

I wanted to share a nice wood handled FS knife I picked up in a grouping yesterday.  This knife was carried by Sgt. Roy L. Randolph, who was a combat photographer with the 8th Army Air Force.  He wrote his name on the back of the sheath.  The family also has his A2 Flight Jacket, but they want to hang onto it.  What are these wood handled FS knives bringing now?  Either way, I thought you all would be interested in seeing this little grouping!

My first but hopefully not last Fairbairn-Sykes dagger... 

This is what they say about it...

Nice mid war 3rd, with the heavier blade, correct scabbard stamped England to match knife, nice MOS stamp of /i\ 21, Pommel nut looks in good order too. 'England' stamp showing its one of those knifes exported from MOD stores to the USA for commercial sale.

Well, I am happy about it!😀

 

Best,
