This is identified as a rare second pattern in the nickel finish of the earlier first pattern knives.  The blade is very good with minor areas of mild corrosion which are almost un-noticeable.   Attention with the correct grade wire wool and oil will probably deal with it.  Weight and balance are all reminiscent of the earlier model.  There are a couple of light dings and imperfections in the top of the handle near the button-shaped nut, but apart from that it is in excellent condition.

There are no letters stamped on the cross guard but this is not unusual.  There is no sheath.2nd Patt Nickle 008
