Stag Handled Knives:
Still working on this section please check back.
The Center knife was made by George Ibbotson & Co. Sheffield, England and is also marked for Swain and Adeney Ltd., Picadilly London. The other two knives are complately unmarked. The Ibbotson blade has a completely different profile, shaped almost like a Gerber MK-II. The knife on the right has a very thin brass guard. None of these knives came with their original sheaths. Most examples I have seen were fitted with the flimsy commercial hunting style sheath. 
An excellent hand made knife included in Homer Brett's book on bayonets and fighting knives. The handle is in a P-2 shape but made from some type of hard plastic or rubber washers. The well formed guard and top nut are nickle plated. Heavier than a standard P-2, the blade rapidly tapers to a needle-tip, and is expertly ground. It came in this well built but clumsy sheath whiich appears to have never included any type of retention device or strap. The knife and sheath are in near mint condition.
Leather Handled Knives:
Two leather handled knives with commando style sheaths. The lower one is built on a P-2 blade and guard but the top one appears to be totally hand made. The are both very functional knives and extremely light-weight.
Below: Dagger designed for use by Gordon E. Perrigard M.D. style of combat called Arwrology? It is possible since this handle shape is consistent with that shown in some of the pictures associated with this school. The bladeon this knife has been broken and re-tipped making it a little shorter than those illustrated. This unusual knife came out of Canada and has no markings on it.
Two typical leather handled knives made by Taylor, "Eye Witness" Sheffield, England are illustrated below. One of them is in its original leather sheath. These knives are also considered either late-war or private purchase by many collectors. Both sheaths have the metal hanger for an American style web belt, the one being in an american bayonet scabbard.
And finally, a knife that may date from anytime between WW-II and Vietnam. It is a well made knife and sheath combination. The seller said he believed it was Vietnam era. It clearly belonged to a Lt. Col. M. L. Brennan and is appropriately engraved on the blade. There is no clue who the maker was but it is a very proffesionally made knife. 
This is the last and best of the leather handles F~S knives in our collection. The blade is from a heavy model P-2 or P-3 and it is bead blasted fr a frosted finish. The handle is similar in look to an M-3 or KaBar combat knife with deep grooves in the washers.  The guard and pommel are steel, the guard being typical F~S type only thicker. On the under side of the guard is a tiny crisp stamping "02". Does this mean a second example of a prototype perhaps?
