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 finish to the cast, ringed grip with the characteristic wartime, thick cross guard . Machine ground blade retaining most of it's finish with a small knick to one edge and signs of contemporary grinding at the point. Contained in a typical leather scabbard but with the addition of a German R.A.D. badge to the top ( careful lifting shows a distinct shadow ). Both tabs are present as is the elastic keeper, to the reverse a message ' to Judy from Joe ' has been scratched in the leather. A good example of a 3rd pattern.
