Rare WW2 RAF 1943 Pattern ''Escape Boot'' Folding Knife

Rare and highly sought after ''escape boot'' folding knife. These small knives of basic construction would have been concealed within a purpose made pocket inside the suede upper of the 1943 pattern flying boot, used for removing the upper section so to create a more civilian look making it less obvious that you're an airmen trying to evade capture in enemy held territory.
The knives were manufactured in two sizes, this example being the larger size with its correct 6cm long blued steel blade and sheep's foot profile.
This is a rare example as it has the nickel/white metal type folded body, the ones with the black painted steel body were more common but these were prone to rust and seize, there was also a folded brass version made which are now extremely rare.
Now one of the most difficult of WW2 knives to acquire.
