Condition Report
the small knife has a small corroded patch, likely easily polished out. The leather of rye scabbard is scored and rubbed, in keeping with age. There appears to be a small loss near the tip of the scabbard where a small hole is visible. Overall in very good condition.
Whilst the crest is similar to that of the Queens Own Cameron Highlanders, it differs in details.
