Some wear to the blade but generally a very good and extremely rare knife from the First World War, believed to be one of only three known examples, one in a private collection and one in a national museum. The Welsh knife was believed to be stylised on a medieval Welsh weapon. The knife was designed in 1916 by Felix Joubert and patented by him. at the behest of Lord Howard de Walden. De Walden shared Joubert's interest in medieval weapons and had the knives issued to the 9th Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, with whom he was serving as a Major. The Imperial War Museum London has in its archives a memorandum, dated 27 January 1920, which relates information on the knife supplied by Colonel H Lloyd Williams, late Commander of the 9th Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers (Lord Howard de Walden commanded the Battalion between September and December 1917; Lloyd Williams took command in October 1918). The memorandum states - "9th Batt'n. Royal Welsh Fusiliers. This battalion made use of a knife with which all machine gunners and bombers were always equipped. Every member of a raiding party was so armed and in one raid on the Messines Ridge two days before the battle of Messines they were used with conspicuous success. They were provided by Lord Howard de Walden and were a replica of a weapon used by Ancient Welsh tribes. They were double-edged, but were intended more for bayonetting than cutting.” This knife was acquired by the current vendor from the grandson of Mr Georges Alfred Alibet, who opened a fencing academy in 1908 in which Lord Howard de Walden was Patron, and he was presented with this knife in 1916. The grandson, inherited the knife at the age of 22 in 1958 and remained in his possession until recently.
