Cold Steel Naval Dirk: Origin of Design?

I was looking at a Naval Dirk today, rather beautiful TBH. Was sorely tempted but couldn't place the pattern. Anyway, a search reveals that it is very close to the one below, made by Cold Steel. Couldn't see any makers marks or stamps on it, and if it's a modern piece, its been aged. Anyone know if these reproductions are stamped, and if they are in fact based on an original pattern, or just loosely based on the British.
