Lot 185
A scarce Octagonal Hilted Commando Knife, 17.2cm flattened diamond section blade with slightly off-set medial ridge, sharpened for use and with blackened finish, characteristic crossguard and octagonal cast alloy hilt with flush fitted pommel nut, contained in its textured leather scabbard. Generally in very good condition though the casting of the grip is slightly crude and misformed towards the pommel. Please refer to plate 161 on page 71 of Ron Flook's book British and Commonwealth Military Knives for an identical knife and scabbard, the only difference being that the knife illustrated has a proud pommel nut. By descent the property of 2nd Lt Phillip Leonard Davison Yorks & Lancs Regiment, who served in the Norway Campaign where he was wounded and then captured. There is no suggestion that this knife was carried by Davison in Norway, having had the lower part of his leg removed due to a grenade blast he was repatriated from Germany in 1943 so may have acquired it upon his return. Davison went on to serve as a Major in the Territorial Army. As far as this knife is concerned academics will be interested to learn that Davison hailed from Sheffield and his Father was a member of the management team at H H Swann & Son, while principally saw maker's this may suggest a clue to the origins of this type of knife.
