I'd tend to lean on the earlier end of that scale due to how the thumb notch is made but not much earlier thanks to the length of the tail. It's all rather vague though, and I'm not exactly a seasoned expert in these matters.

I know, it looks familiar
Used to be Magpie's but now it's mine! The tankard is from the 1830's, the charger from 1764 and the Wade & Butcher from sometime in the early 1800's. As Magpie said, it does shave great!Last edited by Saxon; 11-16-2011 at 12:43 AM.
