Original British WWII Second Pattern B2 Marked Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife with Original Scabbard MP 34 The phrase may have originated

The phrase may have originated through United States servicemen who would draw the picture and the text "Kilroy was here" on the walls and other places where they were stationed

but aside from that it looks much as it did when first taken out of the ground and cleaned off

so the entire stock was most likely reconditioned at arsenal

Original British WWII Second Pattern B2 Marked Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife with Original Scabbard MP 34 The phrase may have originatedOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is one of the rarer versions of the Fairbairn Sykes fighting knives. This version features a blackened brass handle, blackened blade, and "B2" stamped on the cross guard. Most seen are also stamped "ENGLAND" from when they was imported to the USA in the 1970s, however this one must have missed the shipment and was not stamped with ENGLAND. The knife comes with a fantastic and correct leather belt sheath.
