malkiserow Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 That is a fair price anyway...... no need for offers BKZ. I had one identical and sold it to a dealer for £55 and I know they don't pay top dollar! Yours is posted - a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Without seeing any markings in the flesh, from the pics:- Looks like a Post War 1940s MK3. probably after 1942/3 as the blade is machine ground (the hand ground had a small wedge on the bottom by the hand guard) The sheath still retains one set of Sew on Tabs (Upper) the lower ones were only about 10mm below, it also still has the elastic grip retaining loop at the top. A good price.. would be about double that from a dealer. Edited December 8, 2009 by ph5172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmboy99 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 wow it sounds like it could be a murder weapon the way it was found! thanks for the pm mate but this isnt my sort of thing the walking stick would of been amazing for me but alas it wasnt to be! good luck with this by the sound of it its a bargain for someone (or a possible cold case murder conviction! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland&Holland Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hello Gaz, I am interested in the knife. I want to give it to my dad who was in the army as an commando himself. He should be familiar with the knife i think. I can transfer you the money and give you my details. Only slight problem is that i live in the Netherlands. I come over to Lincolnshire and around Oxford at the end of January / beginning of February maybe we can arrange something then? If you give me youre emailadress we can discuss? with kind regards, Ruud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
