My Fairbairn Sykes......( Rusty go green with envy now)

Post by monty3006 » Fri Apr 27, 2007 3:46 pm

Hey guys,
Back after a really long haitus. This is the real deal. The old Colonel I got it from carried it in WW II. Kept it for protection along with a .45 bore pistol. The pistol's long gone but I got my slimy paws on this beauty. He has 2 more of 'em that I'm trying to get him to sell me. But the old geezer's really a tightwad. Had to pay an astronomical price of Rs 2000/- for this piece.
