British Naval Officer's Blue & Gilt Dirk

Richard I believe this dagger/dirk would have been used by a navy officer. The blade etching would not normally be seen except if drawn for use. Masons took pride in who they were and didn't hide the fact of who they were.
Many politicians, lawyers, etc. were masons, even US presidents.
I have many framed mason documents of my grandfathers including when he was Grand Superintendent of Toronto East Disttrict #8.
