                                                          This is an exceptional WW-II First Pattern F~S with a 2 inch guard. In fact this is the last P-1 to come into my collection. It is shown here with a French Beret and an original French Foreign Legion badge.

                                                          Below is another nice P-1 with a very unusual sheath. Some collectors think these sheaths were made in the USA but this one came with this First Pattern.
