    Abrams Brooksbank was in business from 1849 to 1953
    The firm was on Milton street, Sheffield England! They manufactured Bowie knives and other cutlery!
    I would love to see a picture! I am betting its a bowie type knife from the latter half of the 1800's!

    World war 1 would be my guess, but truly, I have no idea!
