That is not too difficult at all. Whoever is working on your web page should be able to do this.

I like knives but I don't consider myself to be a collector. Most of the knives I have / had are already posted here.

Need help Guys,
I have an original Fairbank-Sykes Commando knife in my possession that has "England" written on one side and an inverted "V' with "21" on the other side of the hand guard facing the grip. It has a leather sheath with leather Tabs and a Protective tip made of anodized metal. My knowledge on fighting knives is not elaborate but think it's a collectible. The site mentioned by Sniper does have one of them with the number "21" but no mention of the word "England". Does any one have info on this particular one?
Thanks
Marksman

Hi Marksman;
The inverted V you refer to is known as the Broad Arrow mark. It's an acceptance mark of the British MOD during WW2. The number following it (21 in your case) is the number of the person (inspector) who inspected it.
The word "England" was stamped on those knives (patterns 2&3) that were sold to the US as surplus after WW 2.
It's an interesting aside that the letter "I", on FS knives, denotes the India Stores Department. Also, some FS knives were made at at the Ichapore Armory).
I have no idea of values, but it is a historical artifact and a damned fine knife to boot.
