Stunning Named Wilkinson Private Purchase Second Pattern F-S Fighting Knife

A really beautiful and rare example of a Wilkinson fully etched Private Purchase Second Pattern F-S Fighting Knife with seldom seen ‘button’ pommel. This wonderful example appears unused, with an incredibly as-new looking 6 1/2” blade with three fabulous etching panels as vivid and strong as the day they were applied. Carrying the classic WS & F-S etching panels, as well as a lovely named scroll etchings to ‘ROBERT R. STOAKS’. The blade & etching combination is one of the best condition examples I have seen in a long time, absolutely stunning. And if it couldn’t get any better, the grip has the seldom seen ‘button’ pommel profile, this was a run of grips of slightly different profile that Wilkinson did for a short run but did not continue, as such this manufacturing anomaly is rarely seen. The hilt if fabulous and appears to retain just about all of its original dark finish with little to no wear visible. The pommel nut if of course original and untouched. The original and correct scabbard has seen better days but appears to have done its job at protecting the knife really well. A truly fabulous example is very rarely seen near ‘as-new’ condition.
