Just yesterday I went to a small antique store to pick up a cheap 2nd hand knife as I lost my own a few months back, on doing so I came across a cool looking knife without a sheath. I asked for some discount and picked it up for £25.
Will add pictures. What little research I done, I found it could possibly by only 1 of a handful for sale today?? Am I wrong?

It has the arrow, cross and B stamp, along with Wallaby' etched into the blade, I'm told these were a more rare knife made for the Oceanic market. Handle is black and red leather with a rounded end. Any info you guys could add would be good. I have already arranged it to have a nice new custom sheath made similar to the original.
Added a link for the knife but it's a picture of a similar knife, how do I add pics???
 
Stamp and look is consistent with their 1920's production. Knife looks based on the Marble's Woodcraft. Wallaby mark would be for Australia, etc.... They sometimes changed stamps to tailor the knife to the specific market.

Thanks. Not sure if I should keep and use, or move it on to someone who might appreciate it.
