I'm going to be a bad guy here and say that I don't think it's a war time knife.
While William Rodgers did make issue knives but this is not one of them IMO.
The heavy seam line in the grip and the very thin crossguard are typical post war features.
Compare the crossguard on yours to the one that Ralph posted or to the this one.
This is a picture that was just sent to me from Roy Shadbolt who created -- wilkinsonfscollection.com .
