Anyone familiar with a crossed fish symbol knife maker

Hi Folks,

I have a knife in my shop that survived a fire. Has some sentimental value to the owner so We are trying to see if we can salvage it. There is a makers mark on it of 2 crossed fish. It's believed to be commercially made . Does anyone know the maker with a crossed fish stamp?

Thanks

Ross

Per Goin's
Joseph Allen & Sons, Sheffield England c1864-1953
used the symbol of 2 crossed fish in 1880 and manufactured "Bowie" type knives

Hope that helps

David is correct.

Interesting. Thanks all! I'm told this knife had stag handles and it had copper pins that I cut off it when it arrived in my shop.

Thought I'd post some progress shots. I was able to reheatreat the blade and it came out functional, passed rhe brass rod test meaning I could slide it over a brass rod and the metal deflects and goes back in place and doesn't chip. It's a carbon steel of some type. Cleaned up well imo, some small pitting left but I didn't dare grind more off so I didn't lose the blade all together.

Just needs handles now and it's done.
