Hi there

The I over the /I\ usually indicates Indian Stores acceptance. The Fairbairn Sykes Commando Knife is still issued to this day.

A good book on the subject of British Military Knives in general is;

British and Commonwealth Military Knives by Ron Flook ISBN1 85310 986 X published in 1999 it may still be avaiilable.

Hope that helps

You have been reading too much (if its possible?) Terry Pratchet's 'Colour of Money' where the Mint deliberatly minted/printed errors on stamps and coins, the 'Keeper of the Mint' hmm KEEPING Most of them for himself!

Good plan?

Carl

Any information on the usage of the Pattern '44 web equipment under the RNG? The webbing itself is the same as UK issue, right down to the AA stores codes.

I also have some marked SRG, presumable Southern Rhodesia Government?

I'm also looking for any info or bits of the South African issue Mills set from the 1930s

Hi Graham

Thanks for that info, I thought the numbers were already longer by then, so thanks again for the correction.

Here is a close up of the image, the back of the card is from 'Bert' to 'Mable Wright'.

I haven't dated it any more accurately than post 1894, I would think that the four numbers are the last numbers, as everyone else probably shared the preceeding 2,3, or 4 numbers, I think we just need to know the range of numbers for the 3CG.

Hi

Yes his number looks to be 4387 over 3CG, some one here can no doubt put a name to the number?

Hi

Thought I would add this to the thread, unknown soldier from the 3rd CG.
