Need help in identifying the origin and/or maker of the knife in the pics at the included link. It has a dagger form 6" blade marked
at one side with the number 5 in script, suggesting maker logo, around the 5 are marks similar to fleur-de-lis; there are no other markings. Overall length is about 10.1/2" with a brass appearing guard, silver tone bolster and MOP handle. It came from a collection of mostly Sheffield knives but it may be from another country. It is likely late 19th c. or early 20th c. Thanks for any help.

I don't know the maker, but it looks like a "garter" dagger (a dagger a woman might carry in a sheath tucked in her garter).
