    Help identifying old knife?

    Hi everyone I've had this knife for a long time but I have no idea who made it. It has no makers mark that I can see. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Seconded.

    The semi-finished state suggests something made in a school shop class (when teacher wasn't looking): interests change quickly at that age.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    A "Curio" piece, i.e. something to hang on your wall or stick in the display case.

    Looks like a Pakistani carving knife.

    It's actually a "theater knife", i.e as made in the theater of operations. Made during WW2 anywhere service men had access to metal working equipment and scrap material from crashed airplanes. etc. Many of them were works of art, and there are collectors out there.

    Yes, possibly. As stated, home made. We'll never know for sure.
