Knife from salvaged German FW-190 fighter

Knife made from materials salvaged from German FW-190 fighter plane shot down by Seaforth (Reference: Dr R. Roy History, pp129-131). L/Cpl Harry Taylor made the handle from an aluminum strut with bands of Bakelite from an electrical panel. The blade is of spring steel from the landing gear. The handle is ornamented with his initials 'H.T' by drilling small holes which he filled by melting his service-issue toothbrush handle.
