Here are a couple of pictures. I believe this is a J. Nowill and Sons dirk based on crossed keys/Sheffield mark on the blade. Weirdly the knife and fork are pictured on their webpage, but they don't appear to be making this model anymore. I'm very familiar with their sgian dubhs, but I didn't know they ever made dress dirks. This is about on par with the Art Pewter models from years ago.

According to this link it's a relatively recent design, but I've never seen one in the wild. As the photos show, the blade is in rough shape and it appears that someone tried to glue the pommel back on at some point and some glue ran out and hardened on the grip. I'm thinking about selling it - not sure if it's worth fixing or just passing on for like $400 - $500 and letting a buyer figure out how/if to handle a restoration.
