FS1Pattern ww2 is mine favorit

it is the etching on the reverse of your 1st pattern FS knife that is the important bit. I tried to get Wilkinson Sword to make me and authentic Mk 1 FS knife. They made it with the original first pattern, square ricasso blade from old WW11 stock, with the WS etching on one side, but not G crown R on the reverse. I was worth a try and I didn't realise until I had it for 3 years.
I have two other authentic FS fighting knives, and recently purchased a Kershaw fighting knife that was used by a UK marine in the first Gulf war.
