they may have slightly different grips, but the blade with it's "pure steel" is a dead giveaway.

i keep mine as a reminder.
Oh well thats interesting to know .... I saw the general 'dirk' appearance but I thought it must be quite modern and suspected Indian ... the ridiculous thing is that I did not associate the 'Victory' inscription with HMS Victory .. instead I thought it must be some commemorative thing to do with the end of WW2 ! Its the weird 'PURE STEEL' that gets me .... that must be a real selling point ! I attach a pic of a nicer and hopefully original naval dirk of a similar style that I own ...
