Fish knife from HMS 'Pegasus'
One of a set of plated cutlery retrieved from the wardroom of the protected cruiser HMS 'Pegasus'. A silver fish knife. a floral decorative pattern can be seen on the blade. the maker's mark is illegible as the silver plate is very worn. A lot of the silver plate, especially on the back of the blade appears to have come away from the knife. The knife is also tarnished at the end of the blade near the handle and the handle itself. The knife is also discoloured.
