Fascinating Cameron Highlanders/Spandau Prison F-S Style Dagger

I’ve done some research on this fascinating knife and what a find. This is clearly a post war commercial style Sheffield made dagger in fabulous condition, nothing too special about that but the blade etchings tell a really interesting story. Fully etched on both sides, one saying ‘Cameron Highlanders’ the other ‘Spandau Prison’. From what I can find out, Spandau Prison (Berlin) was where some of the Nazi High Command were held during the Nuremburg Trials in the post war years. Including the infamous Rudolf Hess. The Cameron Highlanders were part of the forces (on rotation) that provided security detail at this facility. So it is most likely that this knife belonged to one of those soldiers who decided to have it etched up to commemorate his service there. A fabulous and fascinating historical dagger. Never seen one like it.
