I dug about 12 different knives from my Fathers footlocker and seen the Broad Arrow on this one.
2 blade, 1 about 2-1/2"~ the other a tin/can opener. Tip has a fixed blade slot screwdriver.
I'd say Stainless with markings as follows: top to bottom:

Oil the Joints
Warriss ------------------------------------------ *The Maker (Warriss?)
Sheffield ------------------------------------------ * Made in (Sheffield?) Englandicon
C.C. 1286-------------------------------------------*C.C. Means? 1286 Means?
^ 1955 -------------------------------------------*(^) = Broad Arrow
^ 497 -------------------------------------*(^) Arrow and 497 stamped Vertically near ring clasp

I found one like it on Auction, same just different date-1954 vs my 1955 and mine marked with the 497 vs the one on auction's 448

Have I got the proper name for it ?
British and Canadianicon Issue?
If Issued.. To Army, Navy...etc ?
Anyone know what the 497 number stands for ? Lot number ?

Picture is from the Auction, not mine.

Thanks Appreciate any Help,
