F/S Dagger Copy

[brian d]

Picked this up at an auction a few years ago. Homemade? Crude made dagger similar to a F/S. No markings, blade very thick but very sharp, does not align in a straight line with handle. Anyone seen anything like this before? Opinions appreciated. Cheers Brian

Hi Brian, not seen one before, but I have no problem in believing it was WW2 period made, possibly in North Africa or the Middle East at a guess?

Cheers, Ade.

Actually difficult to put a date on this. It has an aged patina, it could be a "theatre made" knife by a soldier with access to suitable tools, or privately commissioned by a soldier wanting a "knife like my mate's". But it could also have been made post war by a bloke in his back shed or an engineering apprentice.

Thanks for the replies. With no markings we will never know, one of those "oddities" thats cool but no provenance. Cheers Brian
