: I had made, a couple of years ago, extensive research on the knife, and finally got in contact with an extra in the Egypt scenes through a friend. There were 8 knive copies. They were made of a Cow Bone and were stainless steel, but I dont think they had stainless steel back then.

Thanks for this info. I've heard everything from it being Case XX to this story, but considering everything else that has come out of this movie, I never could believe that they actually had something from just off the shelf, other than the gloves. I agree, I don't believe SS was available until mid way through WWII. I'm currently wearing a 1943 vintage wrist watch, all stainless steel case, so it wasn't to long after the date of the movie that it actually became available for commercial use. Regards.
