Can you say me more about the destination of these daggers?
Was it a contract for the indian army, or for the English army in india.Comment

British Indian army contractComment

Whilst this knife looks to be a 100% correct Wilkinson 2nd pattern I cannot recall ever seeing such a knife marked this way. And the Wilkinson Indian contract was for 3rd pattern knives. To me it looks like a mis-stamped braod arrow T.Originally posted by nickn View PostComment

I agree, and I would like to add that all Indian contract knives were marked on the crossguard as fas as I know.Originally posted by lyness View Post

I agree as well. Never seen a broadarrow stamp on the grip, only the crossguard.
A real anomaly.Comment

Some 2nd patterns were marked on the grip, typically a broad arrow and T also on nickel finish 2nd pattern broad arrow and 60.Originally posted by RoyA View PostComment

Is that documented anywhere? The B2 knives were sometimes marked on the grip but I have never seen the Broad Arrow on the grip, only the B2 marks.Originally posted by lyness View PostComment

I have quite a few 2nd patterns in my collection with markings on the grip
As for documentation buy rons booksComment

I would issue you with a friendly challenge to show an image of a knife with a B2 mark on the grip.Originally posted by Gary Cain View PostComment

As Ron says never seen a b2 stamp on a gripComment

You're correct. I haven't read the books for a while and confused the B2 with a different 2nd Pattern handle I remember seeing.Originally posted by lyness View PostComment
