*Late War European Naval Diver’s Knife with Tinned Brass Scabbard, Likely by Siebe Gorman & Co Ltd*

Approximate measurements:
Blade: 19.7cm long, 4cm wide
Overall: 33.7cm

This is a fine example of a late or post WWII European naval diver’s knife, featuring a double-edged steel blade with turned Bakelite handle. The blade is consistent with those produced by Siebe Gorman & Co Ltd., a renowned supplier of diving equipment to the Royal Navy and other forces. While not all knives were manufacturer-stamped, the form and construction are typical of the period and maker.

The knife is housed in a push-in scabbard also typical of Siebe Gorman & Co Ltd with a grey belt strap. The scabbard looks like its made from tinned brass - which was used in 1945. Brass is corrosion-resistant and non-magnetic, was well suited for underwater operations, avoiding interference with navigation or equipment.

These scabbards were used primarily by Royal Navy and European diving units. A superb and distinctive piece for any serious collector of naval or diving equipment.

*Condition*
Good used condition. The blade shows some tarnishing and minor pitting commensurate with service. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
