Borneo jungle knife HMP
Here is a jungle knife, presumably from Borneo. What makes it interesting is that it is stamped H.M.P
Dimensions are shown in the photos and the blade is 1/4 inch thick at the ricasso.
What is the significance of HMP ?
The owners initials ?
Or is it His/Her Majesty's Prison ? I suppose that this is possible if it came from British North Borneo although I cannot find a reference to there being one as all the searches I tried just came up with POW camps.
All comments welcome.
Regards
Roy
