US postwar import

[greatwhite]

Hi folks sniffing around this, after a little research here i believe this to be ww2 period made but surplus and shipped out to the US post war is this correct.

You are correct. It's a early 3rd pattern with the England import stamp.
I say early because it has the thicker hand ground blade that was discontinued
later in the war for thinner blades to save cost and speed production. You can
see this from the small V grind on the blade where it meets the cross guard.

I am concerned about the sheath. I think it is a lot newer than the knife.

The seller does mention that, i will keep tabs on it, thank you.
