Latest Acquisition

Post by smiling-knife »

Good morning everyone 8) The stag handles on this Harrison Bros & Howson are some of the the most impressive I've seen in person ::nod:: . Don't know if the photos will do it justice. :) s-k

That is some nice stag on those handles. Any idea of the age of the knife?

Hi JOE62. Thanks. I am trying to find-out more about it. The alpha mark goes back to the 1860s. It has England on it which leads me to believe post 1891. IMO it looks a hundred years if it is a day but not certain yet.

Hello Smiling-Knife :)

That is a Nice & Old one for sure. :D
I collected cutlery of this theme at one time and the nice stags are/were hard to come by and it being English.

Nice Knife and not abused, that's a Keeper in my book. ::tu::

Later,
