All About Pocket Knives

Howdy,
Picked up this old EGW , and was looking for some background. All the references I dig up point to this as a Private Purchase / PX knife vs and issue item

5inch non-fullered blade, 9 1/2 overall, with stacked leather disk handle
non-serrated back
cap lifter and lanyard ring Appreciate any data on prodution and issue/use, cuz I got doodly

I think all the small ones were made post war.

Here's some good info, I have one myself-

But Waterman's don't get good reviews as being a good combat knife. The blade is thin, but I like the style.

Many thanks!
