Nick,

Please see the link below for the details I have and images. Correction to my last post is that it is a number 6 not a number 9 below the broad arrow.

Gentlemen,

I am trying to find out as much information as possible on the 2nd Pattern FS fighting knife with the Beaded & Ribbed handle, issued during WW2. The knife is branded with the broad arrow above '9' and belonged to a Royal Marine of 40 Commando during WW2.

I have trawled various websites on the net and none provide a great deal of detail, therefore any information you may be able to provide as to it's origin and issue, would be hugely appreciated.

Will
