British WW2 stainless clasp knife 1945 issue

Post by zorrothegreyblade »

Here's another ebay refugee, arrived with last half inch of blade snapped off. Welded new piece of stainless back on, ground to original shape, needs final polish but good enough to post!

This is the "Burma" pattern, which I believe was issued to troops in the far east. It is very similar to the current pattern, just afew subtle differences in handle shape.
