I still have my mother's Girl Guide knife. She was born in 1920, so I guess the knife dates from 1930. It looks just like the drawing of Peggy's knife in SA ch.9. There was speculation once whether Susan was a Girl Guide - maybe Peggy was too!
The blade is 55mm long, and still very sharp. I'd think you could use the marline spike to get stones out of horses' hooves, though how often a Girl Guide would need either function defeats me.
