Rare ‘Numbered’ British/Indian Paratrooper Fighting Knife

A rare Indian Paratrooper Fighting Knife in used condition. These interesting knives have always been one of my favorites and are normally unmarked, this example has the guard marked ‘I’ (India) and the number ‘73’. This example has been issued, carried and used but remains in solid and honest condition. The blade is 5 3/8” and shows normally signs of wear, sharpening and use. The scabbard is a period modified example that appears well made, a good fit for the knife. A solid hilt with no movement, the wooden grip having no issues. This is clearly a knife that has been issued and carried by this important British Colonial Regiment and is the only example I can recall that is marked with the Indian ownership stamp of ‘I’ and a being numbered example, is very interesting.
