WILKINSON SWORD CO. LTD., LONDON
A RARE MKI FAIRBAIRN-SYKES DAGGER
1941/42, with standard form double-edged 6 3/4in. blade retaining good polish, squared ricasso etched 'WILKINSON SWORD CO LTD. LONDON' below crossed swords and 'THE F-S FIGHTING KNIFE' on the reverse, nickel plated 'S' shaped cross-guard of 2in. length, chequered nickel hilt swelling at the centre and pommel and fixed with a bun nut and complete with a period brown leather scabbard with nickel-plated chape, press-stud securing strap, small loss to one of the leather sleeve-tabs with some drying around the belt loop area and securing strap
Provenance: This knife was the property of Commander G.H. Peters, RNR/RN and has come directly from his son. A file of papers and some photographs connected with Commander Peters is included with the lot. Whilst he essentially spent his wartime career as a Pusser or Supply Officer, there are some intriguing references to 'Special Duties' and 'Special Services' and was certainly involved with an operation to deliver gold to the Yugoslavian Partisans
