It's always nice to see a honest original example of the classic Wilkinson First Pattern F-S Fighting Knife. And complete with it's original and correct scabbard too.
If you wish to read more on this topic I will add a link below. http://wilkinsonfscollection.com/wil...ing_Knife.html Cheerio, Roy

Hello Roy,
I've had a nosey at your website and it's very interesting, it's strange that in 30 years of collecting medals and militaria I've acquired a few fighting knifes, but this is the only first pattern I've ever owned, and I like it All the best dave

Commando patches.
Hi Dave,I would imagine by now you have had every collector and their dog trying to buy these rare patches.Do your self a favour and get them put with a reputable militaria auction site to get exactly what they are worth.Please let me know where they will be listed as I would be very interested in bidding.
Good luck and best regards,Steve.

Whilst I agreed with the sentiment, the vendor would give away 15-20% to the auction house!
Oh then of course the buyer gives them another 15-20%  That's reputable auction houses for you!!

Why is everyone so focused on where and how to sell these badges?
the owner has not at any point said they are for sale. I think he may just enjoy owning them just as I would. regards

Yes you are correct, I originally asked if they were original and are they common or rare, because I genuinely didn't know. However I suspected they were original but I wanted to be sure. I've had loads of private messages from Collectors wanted to buy them, I guess as I'm a medal collector myself I know what it's like when I see a group of medals I want, So I cant blame collectors for trying. I have no plans to part with them, I hope to get the medals at some point to go with the badges and the dagger.
