    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
