1964 Admiralty Contract FR Code Third Pattern F-S Fighting Knife

In 1964 the Admiralty introduced new ‘FR’ codes (FR271 for the F-S scabbard and FR693 for the F-S Knife). Three types of knives survive with these codes: Third Patterns from an order placed with Wilkinson, various WWII manufactured knives re-marked to reflect the new code and newly made Third Pattern knives from an unknown Sheffield maker, this knife is one of the latter. In very near unissued/unused condition, with correct markings on both scabbard and knife and with a 7 1/8” blade. A reasonable conclusion would be that as these codes original from the Admiralty, that these knives were intended for the Royal Marine Commandos.
