Original era manufacture. Good quality Sheffield made knife with a 4.5 inch blade. Aluminum pommel with a stacked leather grip. At some point a series of numbers have been stamped into one side of the grip and on the other a Broad Arrow and what may be a date of 44. We can't vouch for the originality of these markings, however Wade & Butcher were well known makers of knives and razors and went out of business in 1950. Simple brown leather sheath with some stitching opening up on the lower edge.
