Hi guys!
New to the forums, and thought I would ask for your collective help in getting to know a bit more about two knives me and my brother own.
My brother, my father and myself go to an antiques market every Sunday. We always find something to buy, but last summer my father decided to buy me and my brother a knife each as a gift. We loved them, but we didn't really know much about them. I hung them on my bedside table, and haven't really looked at them since. Yesterday, I finally decided to try and find some information about them, as I fell in love with them again while showing them to one of my friends. I found out some basic information about them, but any input would be greatly appreciated
. The first is an Admirality Pattern 301 made by H. G. Long & Co. of Sheffield, England. This seems to have the initials I. M. engraved on either side of the handle. The second (what I am led to believe) is a Navy Rope Knife, made by T. Turner. I think they were issued to the English Navy between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Does anyone know anything about them?
P.S. sorry for the bad photos, only had my phone on hand.
