    Default Josiah Barnes 13/16

    Sold this one on the Bay in March to one of our new members, Jason.
    Thought I'd do a post sale post.

    This is an original resto. Not un-pinned. Stiff hollow, maybe a wedge in its earlier life.
    French point tapering from 13/16 -11/16 made in Sheffield England Circa 1834 by pen knife maker Josiah Barnes. Not bad condition for 175 years.
    Blade is satin finished & scales had a light buff.

    The tang Stamp reads "Josiah Barnes, Duration " with the 'Ouroboros' symbol in centre.
    The general meaning behind the symbol is one of constant recreation so maybe that's why this one stayed in good shape

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
