Hi Adrian . have you got any info on the knife . as it got any markings on it and were did you pick it up ?

 

[smiling-knife]

Interesting. Doesn't look English IMO.... perhaps Camillus or another USA maker? What is the scale material?

 

[adriancook53]

Rose wood it says camillus N Y on the tang though

 

[adriancook53]

Yes its another boot fair /flea market knife.the guy I brought it from said it was his grandads knife during WW11.

He obviously didn't have much love for his grandad.OR I'm calling BS on the grandad story.Why would ANYONE sell something like that-and don't say he's fallen on hard times-he's at a car boot sale which means he's got a car which means he's got money.
Great knife though.
I'm also tipping you are not in Yorkshire because if you were Jack Black would have sniffed that one out waaay first.
great score.

I'm still kicking myself about missing a Case-made clasp knife in an antiques shop in York six months ago! :grumpy:

I think every war since WW7 the soldiers and androids only carried laser knives and plasmatic particle separators... The guy was probably not telling you the truth about it being from World War Eleven.

Your probably right every one has there way at looking at things.happy days hey.!
