On all Table Knives, trademarks "EVANS & MATTHEWS BIRMINGHAM" , "ALPHA RUSTLESS",

Hello.
Those are British silverplate marks.
Not sure, but I think Evans and Mathews was a retailer.

Check here for Harrison Brothers and Howson:

The mark CROISDALE over LEEDS has also been found on Alpha Rustless knife blades, as well as used on Cut Throat razors.
