I have read that the Third Pattern didn't begin production till 1943 but this one is dated 1942 and I was able to purchase it direct from the 6th Para Regiment veterans state back in 1998, so I will have to defer to the experts on this one.

Hi Gary,
I've been getting a little worried about you tonight......
Do you happen to own either one of these???
Regards, Ned.
p.s The F.S is a very desirable find, nice one!!

Re: 3rd Pattern FS Knife
Hi guys,i've just joined your excellent forum and have just been browsing.I just thought you may be interested to know that the /!\ 42 mark is a known and recorded version and is an inspectors mark and not the date,ie 1942.
