Royal Marine Commandos from 3 Commando Brigade played a huge part in the successful liberation of the Islands and the defeat of the Argentine occupation forces. To commemorate the significant 25th. anniversary; the Royal Marines commissioned a replica Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Dagger which has been synonymous with British Commando Forces since 1941. The dagger has been produced using only thehighest-quality blued steel and to exactly the original WW2Sykes-Fairbairn pattern. Arrangements were made to receive on loan from the Curator of the Corps museum an original knife so that measurements might be taken to ensure that the commemorative piece would be a faithful copy in every respect. The dagger has a tapering pointed blade of diamond section; 7 1/2 inches long. The simple cross-guard is 2 inches wide and the grip is checkered with engine turning.

In keeping with the commemorative nature of this item only 200 were made and subsequently the distribution was on a limited basis..in keeping with the Commando ethos. The particular Dagger for sale in this auction is numbered 143 which is acid inscribed in the blade to identify it's individuality for the owner to treasure or pass on a piece of history as an heirloom.
