British army knife FAKE or REAL.

[Johnyboy8882]

Hi,My names Jonathan and I'm kinda new to bladeforums,I've recently bought what I believe is a British army knife and I'm a little concerned about the authenticity and quality of this Knife,I've sharpened it and it appears to hold up well so far,It is entirely made of stainless steel with an "Arrow" next to "68" at the bottom right of the third pin and is also below the "stainless steel" text.There's another "Arrow" that is stamped below the first pin(the pin that holds the tools)with the text "1968 oil the joints"below that "Arrow".The steel seems to work fine,the can opener is nice and sharp,there's "SB" stamped on the handle(which caused the handle the bend inwards btw)but I think that was done by the previous owner and That's about it.Oh yeah and also it only has the clasp,knife,can opener and liner screwdriver/cap lifter functions,there is no marlin spike apparently.

Pictures are what we need.

The arrow of which you speak might be the standard British military ownership symbol - the Broad Arrow.We really need pics to be able to say with any degree of certainty, whether its the real deal or not.
