Early Issue Wilkinson Type-D survival Knife (Early RAF Prefix)

A scarce early issue Wilkinson Type-D survival knife with its correct pattern sheath.
This early (1950's) pre-NATO model bears the Wilkinson crossed sword logo and the RAF prefix 27c/2630 with broad arrow.
The robust 7 inch blade retains a good profile and has not been over sharpened, in good untouched condition apart from some minor rust blistering and pitting in places, could be much improved with little effort or left as found.
Good wooden grips, light indentation to one slab from service use.
Original and correct pattern sheath with a working 'Lift the Dot' fastener, there is a split present in the leather on the rear face.
An un-messed with service used knife and now becoming difficult to source.
Sorry UK sale ONLY, photo ID required before item being despatched, over 21 yrs only.
