Boer War Army Ordnance Corps Clasp Knife
A very pleasing example of a Boer War clasp knife made by Burch & sons of Sheffield with a 3 3/4 inch blade + marlin spike (good springs and old dry grease still present, no play in blade), one side of forte marked with W D 5.
The grips are made of horn which have been stamped/ branded with AOC (Army Ordnance Corps 1894- 1918) and a service number 1237 and from research reveals that the knife was issued to a Sergeant John Arthur Doyle who served in WW1 but may possibly had also served in the pre-war Territorial AOC .
Sorry UK SALES ONLY & 18+ years of age, proof of age will be required.
