An attractive early 20th century British Royal Navy officer’s dirk by Gieves Ltd of Portsmouth & London, likely George V period, retaining gilt brass mounts, white shagreen grip with wire binding, crowned fouled anchor langets and traces of original etched blade decoration including a faint GVR cypher. A well-presented example with strong naval character and untouched age patina.
1963 Royal Navy Lieutenant-Commander’s Gieves-tailored service dress uniform, named to J. Goldsmith, with medal ribbon bar confirming a long career spanning the Second World War, post-war fleet service and the Cold War period.
