Thanks Mike. I have seen that in fact I have it printed out when I was able to find a good place to use to print from. I have some good resources of Sheffield cutlery. One is my Tweedale's Directory of Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers 1740-2013 by Geoffrey Tweedale & Directory of Sheffield by Gales & Martin in 1787.
Martin is right in what he says but again, thanks for sharing because many have not seen that. I get a lot of my Sheffield info from those two sources mainly. martin
I also have the Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings which covers many Sheffield cutlers & many others from around the world & several other books on straight razors & old knives.
Martin is vey knowledgable on this subject along with ScienceGuy & Zak aka Voidmoster (all of course not in that order) plus a few others.
Many thanks Martin for mentioning Neil.
Neil Miller was also very knowledgable on this plus a great deal more & he is sadly missed everyday. I still leave him likes & thanks often I don't think there is a day that goes by w/o me thinking abut him & his witty character! Although his life was cut short, he is still with us in our hearts & minds & I know many of us are thinking of him, missing him as well. He is w/o pain, up there looking down at us & getting the closest shaves than any of us ever dreamed of, telling God, "look at those guys...............aren't they a great bloody group of chaps"?
