A NEW BOOK: Clandestine Knives of WWII-- 172 full-color pages of the many styles of clandestine knives and other non-traditional weapons carried by the members of the SAS, SOE, OSS and other clandestine agencies. They were carried by Agents in all theaters of World War II. It was imperative to keep one’s weapons hidden, therefore, they had to be small and easily concealed. Most of the weapons illustrated here are extremely rare and seldom found for sale. Copies of this book are avail. directly from the author for $60 (including shipping in the USA.) David W. Decker, 60 Steuben Street, Addison, NY 14801 or emal: ghdave2@hotmail.com

FAKE F/S--The following information is being presented in the hope that other collectors will not get burnt:
Fake 2nd Pattern F/S--Made to be a Free French Variation--The 6 7/8" blade is blackened, under the black is what appears to be a copper plating or coating. The guard has a small Broad Arrow on the top side. The blackened knurled grip has a large Cross imbedded in the knurling. The Cross is aprox 1/2" tall and 3/8" wide. After talking with a couple friends, John Fischer and Tom Parker and re-reading a section of Ron Flook's book, I have come to the conclusion that this thing is bogus.
This additional information came from fellow collector Kerry Gordon. (thanks Kerry)
I just thought that you might like to know that you weren't the only one ever caught with one of these - not only do I have the French version but I also have one with the Belgian Rampant Lion stamped into the hilt.

The real give away with these is that the blade tang doesn't run all the way through the pommel nut, there's about two threads empty at the end of the nut. The other thing is that the brass pommel nuts are painted with gloss black paint rather than blackened.

Someone spent a lot of time and effort on these, the blades are tinned under the blackening and the hilts are blackened brass that is reasonable well checkered.
