Splendid Type I (All Nickel) ⩚56 Second Pattern F-S Fighting Knife

A splendid example of the early MoS contract Type I Second Pattern F-S. The example has the correct MoS stamp of ⩚56 on the crossguard but has been ‘over-stamped’ with the US import mark on ‘England’ (see photograph). The knife is in lovely solid condition, showing signs of general use overall. A very nice full length blade of 6 3/4” with intact tip, some light age staining to the blade, which remains in excellent original condition. The hilt retains most of it’s original plating and has very fine knurling to the grip. The pommel nut is original, intact and unaltered. This knife comes with a replacement scabbard, a period correct Wilkinson pattern, in very good condition, the elastic retaining strap is missing, also stamped England. Overall, a very solid and handsome wartime Type I Second Pattern F-S.
