    Have a chance to get this knife and sheath semi locally. The owner isn't too computer savy so these are all the pics I could get. He says the guard is stamped Sheffield England nothing else. The sheath dosen't look like any I can see on the web so I suspect its not original. Your thoughts and please reply ASAP it may be gone soon. Price is $110.00.

    Yes, with "Sheffield, England" it will be post war, and could be 1950's or 1960's. Private purchase, but as always, fighting knives were privately purchased by soldiers and there's no telling where they ended up. I think the early post WW2 English made knives are quite collectible due to the relatively low price. Leather sheath probably made some years later.
