I've got one, unmarked, which I bought because I thought it was a nice design and practical to use as a marking knife. It's not quite the same - more rosewood, less brass. Picture to follow if you want!
I found a picture of it in the Marples catalogues.

You can just about make out that the billet would have been split, the internal slot routed out of one side, then the parts glued together again and held by the brass end and two little rivets.
