**RARE**ORIGINAL** WW1 / WW2 Alloy Hilt New Zealand Army Fighting Knife With Original Scabbard. Sn 22673 - 22673

The rare to find WW1 / WW2 era New Zealand made military fighting knives come in a number of forms, but all have the same alloy hilt with moulded chequering. The New Zealand made knives were popular with American Forces (see pages 214 & 216 plate 519 of British & Commonwealth Military Knives By Flook which illustrates an example with a hilt identical to ours). Our example has the correct cast alloy grip with moulded chequering and raised pommel ideal for striking during combat. The knife measures 10 ¾” overall with a clean 6” spear point steel blade. As is usual with these weapons there are no manufacturer, date or military markings on the knife. The knife is complete with its correct original brown leather open top scabbard which has a single belt loop. All leather, stitching and rivets of the scabbard are clean intact. The price for this rare fighting knife & scabbard includes UK delivery. Sn 22673 (in FS box)
