So my friends partner passed away about 2 years ago and today she gave me this blade, it seems rather old and from what oxidation there Is I can only assume the handle is copper? But I just wanted to know if it's of any significance also I'm not sure if I'm posting this image correctly

The handle appears to be brass.

This knife is a Fairbairn Sykes type dagger, but I'm not sure if it's a real ww2 example or a repro / replica.

Someone here will tell you if its an original and what pattern it would be, there were various small changes as time went on.

This doesn't look like a recent knife at all, but they've been reproduced for a long time.
