MarkP Posted 3 February Share Posted 3 February Hi, seen this and wondered what you guys think, original WW1? From my limited knowledge I understand the WW1 knives were longer than the WW2, does anyone know the length? Maker is T Turner & Co. Other than that no other markings from what I know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave66 Posted 3 February Share Posted 3 February The official pattern number is 6353/1905, this is one of the many variants . It has the early type of copper shackle with a brass pin securing it…this was changed to steel later on during the war to conserve brass. The late Joe sweeney has an excellent post in the thread below. A very slippery slope…can’t stop at just one😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
