How many of you collect British fighting knives?

[Brandenburger]

Guys, if this question is too general please let me know... I just acquired a post war FS knife that is apparently an issue knife. Question is, what type of markings should be on an official issue post war knife? Mine is marked Sheffield and stamped with a broad arrow.

Hi,

Is it a 3rd pattern (painted) all black (including the handle) in an all black leather scabbard with a blackened metal tip cover??

Sheffield and stamped with a broad arrow.

Those are correct post-war markings. Later examples show a Nato stock number.

The scabbard is actually more of a dark brown rather than black. I am loading pictures to make things clearer.

Can you give me a time frame when this knife would have been issued?
