| Knife Description |
This is the third pattern, with the ringed handle. The blade shows signs of use and sharpening, but retains
98% of the blueing. The handle has the casting mark 1 on the handle. The guard is marked England, with a
broad arrow over 42. The knife is very well balanced and there appears to be no real wear to the handle.
I believe this is a hand ground and/or forged blade as it has the small wedge on the spine near the guard on
both sides. The elastic strap is still attached to the sheath. The tip of sheath is a squared tip and appears
to be blued.
