Original British WWII Early Third Pattern Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife with Scabbard - Import Marked ENGLAND Russian Ordnance with the British drawing appearingOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is an excellent example of an early "Third Pattern" British Fairbairn Sykes commando dagger, with a blacked brass handle and scabbard. As brass was a "strategic material," only the early examples of the third pattern have brass handles, with later war produced models having alloy handles. The handle dates production to late 1943 early 1944. The knives varied somewhat in size, and this example measures 11 5 8",
