Hello everyone. I'm looking at buy a Wade & Butcher 7/8's. They don't know what year it was made. The stamp on the tail only says: Manufactured By Wade & Butcher Sheffield. There is no other manufacturers Mark on it. There is an etching on Abraham Lincoln on one side of the blade with some words and scrolls.and what looks like to other men holding the scrolls. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If there is no "England" stamp on the tang, than it's older than 1891....Quote:
