Is there an anchor hallmark ? Might be Levi & Salaman, famous for pin cushions.

Actually, i think it's a letter opener without the tortoiseshell part. The silver horn is the handle.

Yes..   Anchor [Z] lion

Coz it was found in my Grandfathers Davenport writing bureau I was thinking it was a handle to a letter opener?
