WW2 British Commando Folding / Lock Knife (At Fault)

An appealing example of a scarce WW2 British commando folding / lock knife, unfortunately the knife has a broken spring and some repair work to the locking mechanism, this has resulted in some play to the blade whilst in the locked position (approx. 10 mm drop).
Even with its faults this still remains a wonderful display piece if under/behind glass etc.
The blade is in good order with only light staining and retains its full 3 inch cutting edge, the ricasso bears the makers name of Joseph Fenton & Sons, Sheffield.
The Bexoid grips are also in good order apart from the commonly seen small cracking around the main pivotal rivet/pin but no issue.
These maker - marked knives were also issued to S.O.E (Special Operations Executive) agents but were not carried overseas during clandestine operations, instead the sterile variant with the additional small tyre slasher blade would have been used.
Priced accordingly due to faults, despatched via the Royal mail.
Sorry Mainland UK sale ONLY, must be 21 or over, photo I.D will be required before item will be despatched.
