I bought a Fairbairn-Sykes off a Norwegian online marketplace. I was told it was a fake, but i am not sure if it is. It has a William Rodgers Sheffield England stamp on the Guard of the knife. Can any one here either confirm it is a fake, or the real deal?

If someone has a estimate of when it was made i would appreciate it!

Do you have any idea of what time period it could have been made? The seller said his father had it in his toolbox forever, so i reckon it could have been from the war, and he got the knife as a kid during/after the war. It also looks old because of the patina
 
That is the 3 pattern fairburn and Sykes that pattern was manufactured by William Rogers in 1943 . And they've made that pattern ever since . So be really hard to give it a date of manufacture . Is it a Sheffield fairbairn and Sykes I would say yes . Was it used in the second world war I couldn't tell you as the design has never changed . I think the only way you'll be able to find out it's finding out the true providence of the knife . However this is only my opinion . And maybe somebody else might know more hope this helps ☺️
 
3rd Pattern WWII knives should have a mold number 1-4 on the pommel end. Post war knives don't have a number.
As far as being fake, it's a real Rodger's knife , not a knock-off.
