    [WTB or trade] British military clasp knives, KFS sets, etc.

    I am looking for WWII style British military clasp knives, preferably WWII dated. I am interested in both the army (top) and navy (bottom) versions:


    Army version w. no spike


    Navy/Royal Marines w. spike

    I know that these are available online and on eBay, but the prices are utterly ridiculous! I know that these are to be found at fleamarkets, estate sales and car booth sales in the UK for much more reasonable prices.

    I will pay or trade for gear. Price depending on condition. I am only interested in knives w. complete tools and intact scales.

    If anyone can find me an airborne/commando jack knife as well, I will pay handsomly for it:



    The knives will be sold or passed on the members of my WWII re-enactment group, with no profit on my side.

    I am also looking for a WWII dated MK III "Turtle" helmet - if the price is right.

    I am also interested in the odd Fairbairn Sykes dagger - again; if the price is right

    These are also in high demand in our group:





    The 1944 pattern British KFS. I suspect some of you may actually have some of these in your outdoors kit

    Incomplete sets are welcome too.

    Hi Jeep
    There was a navy one in my local antique shop today They wanted £15 for it, which I thought was over priced,

    Was it stamped with a production year?

    Ok, thanks.

    £15 isn't too bad if the condition is fair.

    Here's a pic of the knife Jacob, Not the best, taken through the glass.
    I've just realised, there may be a Army one behind it, for £6.
    What do you think!
