3rd third pattern Fairbairn Sykes dagger fighting knife

3rd Pattern Fairbairn Sykes Fighting Knife
 This is a third pattern Fairbairn Sykes Fighting knife. This knife differs radically from the first and second pattern. The brass and nickle plated checkered grip is now replaced with a grip consisting of a concentric ring design. The third pattern was issued in black as standard, so as not to reflect the light.

Marked 3 on the hilt
 Third patterns can be marked on the hilt as above. This one is marked 3 and refers just to the cast number & manufacturer.
