Do you mean the striped-handled Wade & Butcher?
It has the circled B with arrow and iron cross. I think it’s the 1920’s/30’s one like you see referenced under a few names for scouts etc.

I gave the blade a gentle hand-polish and it’s very difficult to make out, but I can see an italicised “ell” so I think this may have been a Gillwell engraved knife after all.

Pretty much what these may end up being used for. They came in a lot today from auction. I only wanted the marlin-spike WWII jack knife, so I’m at a loss what to use them for except extreme veg prep.
