Italian Army Pocket Knife

[Danceswithhelicopters]

Spotted a few of these on the Interweb described as New Old Stock or Unissued. Looks a bit like the classic British Army knife with Bakelite scales. The postage is outrageous so does anyone have one or a source?

Aye Up DWH,

Not sure if you are looking for a genuine British Army Jack knife - if so there are some WW2 issue on Ebabe and some on Etsy but they work out at about £40+ each!

The WW2 era versions have the Bakelite scales - the later issue didn't (I was issued with the later version) which included the marlin spike.

I had no idea how rare and collectable they had become. I've long lost my issue version but I've had a 1943 version hanging on a hook in my garage for ten years (inherited from my late father). You can bet that it is going to be cleaned up and moved to safety asap!
