always good to see a dagger ,

I believe yours possibly is a Classic Indian made F-S knife , >>British Commando Knife

keep in mind there were fakes made of this variation with a fat crossguard , >>
What is it? Who made it? - The Fairbairn Sykes Fighting Knives

So in your opinion would you say this is a fake ??? has a thick crossguard

I collect FS daggers but have never known a lot about this variation , I am sure there might be other members with more knowledge , or you could possibly email Roy shadbolt at royshadbolt@me.com , he runs a FS website located at >> Home

I don't like this one.
The shape of the handle is all wrong. Reminds
me of the fakes that popped up on ebay a couple
years back. The etch looks wrong also.
