Just joined SRP . I just aquired , yesterday , a Brookes & Crookes Blade , no scales , below Brookes & Crookes is the trade mark Bell , below that
reads , Makers Sheffield . French , Single Stabilizer , Quarter Hollow . any ideas on when it was made , approximate . I received this blade with another
that I am having trouble Identifying , it also is , French , Quarter Hollow , what I think are bone scales , blade measures 7/16ths , only marks I can find are , Garantie , spelled that way , what appear to be , last letters of RIS ,before that the number 42 , on back , or reverse , a circle with HB520 inside .
not sure if this is the correct place to post about this straight , just asking for info .
Thanks

They were open for some time and perhaps a full shot of the blade also, will help in trying to get a better idea.

Here's one that's apparently a "Crookes", but not any of the Crookes mentioned here. Rather an "S. Crookes".
It's got a G.R. crown stamp, so likely that dates it to the 1820s. It looks like a half hollow - I don't know if it was reground, I think some hollow grinds did start to appear in the 1820s. Though there is a mostly obliterated stamp on the one face near the spine.
Maybe "T ? E L L" ?
The scales are pretty straight and actually some sort of honey horn, though they look a bit like wood in photos.
One side has a name scratched in, though I'm not sure what it says:
In any case, does anyone know anything about "S. Crookes"?markbignosekelly and RaymondMillbrae like this.
