Piratelou Posted January 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2015 I can't ID this fighting knife. It has no markings. I was hoping someone could help me ID it and approximately when it was from. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted January 20, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2015 It is a Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife. If it is an original you have a very expensive piece there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted January 20, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2015 Third pattern and the most encountered model of the FS knife. By the thick cross guard appears WW2 era.Some times you may find the marking ENGLAND stamped on the guard and scabbard of these. There is an extensive pinned topic here on these in the edged weapon section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
