WW2 ARP / Civil Defence Penknife
A private purchase penknife featuring a blade and marlin spike (used to help loosen knots) was manufactured by two companies early in the war.
The DCC (Devonport Cutlery Company) and GG&S (George Gill & Sons) marked penknives are both 1939 dated. They included an integral loop to attach the penknife to a lanyard or hang from a belt.
These penknives are quite scare and prices continue to rise. Getting a penknife by either maker for under £75 (as of 2023) is getting harder.
