Small pocket knife. Blade is made of silver. It has a crown, lion, C and AS on the blade. Not sure the year this was made. It needs a good cleaning as you can see.

The crown indicates that the knife was made in Sheffield, England. The "lion passant" means that the blade is Sterling Silver. There are a dozen different "C" marks in many fonts. A clearer picture of the mark will allow dating to the exact year of production. Rub the blade gently with silver polish (NOT scouring powder or steel wool) or a polishing cloth, and re-post the pic.
Makers mark is for Arthur Worral Stanisforth.

So we can extrapolate that the date mark is for 1895 at the earliest, and possibly for 1919 too.
