Used by British-Indian forces during the Second World War, it served in campaigns across the Pacific and Middle Eastern theaters. The ricasso is stamped with the "GRI" crown mark and "R.F.I. 1944". The wooden grips are securely fastened with two screws. The leather scabbard is intact, featuring a steel throat and chape.
