Original WW2 era British private purchase “EYE WITNESS” brand fighting dagger made by Taylor Cutlery in Sheffield, UK. Taylor had always made a quality product; their daggers were very popular with the British and American servicemen stationed in the UK during the war. Many British and American servicemen used these fine fighters in every combat theater in Europe, North Africa and in the Middle East. See a copy of the original WW2 era photo of two US Ranges overlooking the Anzio beachhead landing area; the man on the right has a similar type of British-made dagger on his belt (this photo is courtesy of Wikipedia and is not included with the knife).
This dagger is slightly used, but it is better-than-average condition; the blade is razor-sharp still; the tip is intact; the famous “eye” company logo on one side of the blade is crisp and clear. Stacked leather washers handle with brass and black-n-red fiber spacers at the ends. A decent-size bronze double-guard and the “mushroom head” brass pommel; the handle is tight; all parts are solid with no play. This dagger is about 11-1/4″ / 28.5 cm overall; the blade is about 6-7/8″ / 17.5 cm long. The scabbard is a theater-modified US-made M1905 bayonet composition scabbard that was shortened and re-fitted to fit the dagger. The scabbard fits the blade perfectly; it holds it well.
This original Taylor Sheffield Eye Witness British fighting dagger has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way, it is in 100% original “as is” condition. These are the actual photos; Le Enfield clips are not included with the lot 😉 This scarce “private purchase” Taylor Sheffield Eye Witness British fighting dagger WW2 fighting dagger is in great overall condition; don’t miss your chance to add it to your collection!
