I did my research and it appears I have found a 3rd pattern knife manufactured during WWII for $150.

It only has two markings that I can find. A 4 mold marking on the handle and ENGLAND stamped on the cross guard.

No broad arrow. I read that this might make it one of 167,000 exported to the USA after the war as a payment toward wartime support.

So, is this all correct and would it be worth the $150 if in otherwise decent shape? I can probably get it for $135 with their discount. It does not have a sheath. The no broad arrow is bugging me a bit. They say the molds were destroyed after the war so a post war knife would not have the number.
