    Default George Plum Military Razor

    Hi all. I got this a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to find some info on it (same old story ). On the tang is "George Plum, Dolphin Street, Bristol". The blade itself has "The Plum, Military Razor" though the "razor" bit is very feint.

    Any info would be great

    George Plum occupied 262 Strand between circa 1840 and 1850. The Bristol branches continued long after the London branch had closed. Charles Tucker Plum also operated out of London 1855 to 1895. (see Ron Flook's London Knife Book)

    There's more a google, a bit of digging will be required.
