A hard to find Beaded and ribbed British WW2 fighting knife, used during WW2 and  stamped /|\4 on the grip. This example is complete with its original sheath, blade has definitely seen some action and has been sharpened and shows some corrosion (visible in photos). The scabbard is also well used and worn but apart from a missing tab and little retaining elastic left it’s complete. Overall a solid but well used example of a scarce knife and priced accordingly.
