I found a photo of the original of this knife in "British and Commonwealth Military Knives" by Ron Flook.
Mr. Flook wrote that, although the knife had supposed second world war provenance, it looked to him like First War instead.
It's a more up-scale version of the knuckle knives favored by British troops with a one-piece brass liner, cross-guard and knuckleduster cast onto the tang.
It has a Bowie type, rather than the conventional dagger, blade which is mounted "rightsideup" (see Clements).
Handle scales of ebony complete the grip.
With its 6" high-carbon, tool steel blade, it measures 10 1/2" long overall.
