Possible English wedge?
I'm in north Fl near Lake City this week on a visit with family and couldn't resist hitting up the antique shops (RAD bro) and a Torrey and one unidentified wedge followed me out the door at the great price of $12 each. The Torrey (my second) is a 1/4 hollow about 4/8's with barbers notch,nothing flashy.
The one I am trying to figure out is the Ivory scaled about 5/8'ths Silver Steel Warranted wedge. Its tang and spine style match up closely with Victoria era British models but it lacks stamps indicating the reign of a sovereign. If I can get the old lady to trust me with her camera which I've a snowballs chance in hell I'll post pics of the wedge,maybe the Torrey too. Can anyone point me in the direction of any sites with decent or better detail of English straights? I would appreciate it and thank you.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
