Picked up an AP301, Admiralty Pattern Navy knife. Made by Alkinson Brothers, 1910-1930. Stag grips. Unfortunately both main sheeps foot blade and marlin spike have been reworked, but not a common pattern I see alot. And hard to pass on stag.

Could have been carried by a RN sailor at The Battle of Jutland. Very cool.
