First pattern FS

[dog soldier]

Guys , I was offered a FS commando dagger some time ago , the deal was complete but the lady who worked with me changed her mind.She called me yesterday and offered me it so today I am going to collect it.
It's a first pattern and sheath with a 2nd pattern with out sheath
His transfer papers pictures and other documentation .i am taking her £600 is that too much, this isn't my line and I am not sure the values mind you she seems happy at that, but then she said that the last time

What do you think

A first pattern knife alone is worth much more than that is the condition is good.

Cheers, Ade.

What do you think guys

[dog soldier]

do you think i should give the lady a little more i cant afford much more

[nickn]

if she asked for £600 thats fine you cannot be the buyer and the seller
if she asked you how much the items were worth and you said £600 you have given too little

She asked for £500 but i thought it would be nearer £600 so thats what i gave her.

I am prety chuffed with all the history that goes with it just beenlooking up 9 Commando they seem to have been every where would this guy have been in every theatre the fought .It states North Africa Greece italy Dieppe St Nazaire and France
