Sold as a 'Marine Boarding Peak'

From Vendor:
===================================
Country of manufacture: United Kingdom
Manufacturer/ Maker: Kladno
Model: Marina
Weapon Type: Boarding Peak
Sub-type: Combat
Condition: Good
Overall Length: 33 cm
Barrel/ blade length: 15 cm

19th century boarding pick, curious and scarce piece, was used as a weapon and as an aid to board a ship, marking on the blade.
===================================

Kladno is a city in the Czech Republic, so UK seems a bit far fetched.

I'm guessing the blade was used by some bright marine blacksmith to make this zaghnal-esque weapon as a personal weapon for someone. UK RN? Maybe?

Odd piece, haft looks like it was being carved for a pistol or carbine stock & was repurposed.
