Hi Gents,
Excellent thank you.
Length is 13-1/2" or 34cm.

Blade is sharp and very sturdy, non-plated, extremely well made and functional. Handle is horn and I assume bone.
Strangely I saw a small (very late) commercial one at the fair also, with the blade etched to read 'The High Life'.

It feels later 19th century. Would that be correct?

The makers mark on the other side is a bit indistinct and the staining is right where it's lightly struck.
It reads:
W&G **OGEL

ELB***ELD (4th letter is either E or L)
