One piece chisel
Here's an interesting chisel, it oks as though it was made in one piece, handle and all. Google Lens seems to think it could be a bearing scraper. The stamped letters are Down England and that's a difficult word to search. On the blade is some useful advice, Do not lever.
Update: Comments below (thanks, guys) lead me to Down Brothers surgical instruments, more here.

Looks like it's made with serilisation in mind, and Down / Down Bros. vintage medical tools are to be found around the net.
Definitely not a bearing scraper, the edge would be along the side.
I bet it's in this catalog:

I got a quarter of the way through and had to just stop. My God they fixed hernias with wire mesh...
Dental elevator or chisel
Yep, I’ve got some old screen door in my gut now.
Thanks for the Down Bros. information!
