dcollector, a fine collection, couldn't agree more on buying a book etc, I recently enquired about a 2nd pattern example all good original but there was a discrepancy with the guard, it was marked correct but it had either had a repair on the blade between the ricasso and the hilt or it was put together out of parts, just seemed a bad fit to me.......... price was was just under £1000 way over priced but there you go.
To the OP (Florey55 ) Just save and buy the real deal, or early post war, as pointed out plenty of 3rd Pattern ones about.
Regarding 2nd Pattern Knives, I'm just trying to get a contour jig sorted to knurl the handle, friend of mine has made some outstanding blades and needs some handles.........Information
