BC41 Knuckle Knife.
A wonderfully sleepy example of the BC41 Knuckle knife. Reputedly issued to Commandos prior to their issue of FS knives, the design was heavily influenced by similar knives produced by some Sheffield manufacturers during WW1. This example has never been cleaned and has staining and minor corosion all of which can be straight forwardly removed if you had a mind. Evidence of the blade having been sharpened. The sheath too is in similar dusty, uncleaned condition. Altogether an excellent, untouched, sleepy example of a famed pattern of a fighting knife.
Printed 2 Commando shoulder title.
Excellent condition, printed 2 Commando shoulder title. Showing signs of having been removed from a uniform, the title displays the typical modification where the 'No.2' is folded under or removed to read '2 Commando'.
Third Reich NCO's visor cap
An untouched piece, and never been in a collection before! Purchased recently direct from source, along with a nice party armband, both bought back from the war as souvenirs. This is not a mint cap, but has that 'used' and 'been there-done-that' look and feel. There is no damage to the cap, and only one tiny moth nip at the back. The celluliod diamond has gone to time. There is writing and ink stamps to the inside of the leather sweatband, but I can't make them out. Nicely toned badges are original to the piece. NCO's chinstrap is prefect and never been removed.
