A VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT ISSUE FIGHTING KNIFE. A fighting knife with a 7cm pointed tapering blade with central rib, with various stamped marks including EFD beneath an arrow, proof marks with 16, 83 and 84 beneath crowns, and VR, with a straight cross guard, wooden handle and brass pommel, 31cm overall. 19th century and later.
It seems that this is of reasonably modern construction using a section of a P1888 Lee Metford bayonet.
