Dagger B-3 Fairbairn Sykes Wilkinson

Fairbairn Sykes type B-2 dagger with hand-sharpened blade

Marking B-2 on hilt and 6.61" blade

Leather scabbard with elastic band, present but broken

This type of B-3 dagge was introduced around September 1942, and this copy is one of the very first productions.

The copies stamped "⩚B2" have long raised questions, the origin of this marking having remained unknown and subject to much speculation.

It was only when some documented evidence was unearthed by Robert Wilkinson-Latham that a formal link could be established with Wilkinson Sword, confirming that it is a property and/or inspection mark "⩚B2".

This inspection mark is usually found on B-2 dags, which makes this type of model particularly RARE.
