3rd Pattern F.S. Knife

Introduced from 1942 the 3rd Pattern F.S. knife was the zenith of FS knives formulating the design and method of production that is still used today.
This wartime example retains much of it's blackened finish to the ringed grip which has a number ' 4 ' cast into the top. Some minor rubbing to the highpoints . Blade retains much of it's blued finish with clearly discernible cross-graining and light sharpening with light signs of use. Typical wartime pattern sheath with both tabs and elastic retainer in good, used order .
All together an excellent example of a wartime 3rd Pattern.
