That's a great find when you consider the age in spectacular condition, If it were mine I would like to see it fully restored bone scales love it.

Nice old blade.
Try rubbing some chalk or flour or baking soda into mark and see if that will bring the letters out better.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead - Charles Bukowski

Very nice, indeed! The scales are terrific. Is the back side scale in good shape too? Great thick old blade with the Old English on the spine.

Thanks for the replies. I'm having trouble logging in at the mo.
Both scales are in excellent condition.
This weekend I will try some flour in the stamp amongst other things

George Deakin.
1815-1825.
He made all manner of edge tools.
Edit:
It's got OLD ENGLISH, that puts it at 1820-1825ish.
OLD ENGLISH was... ahem... borrowed from John Barber (lots of folks you wouldn't expect to run off with someone else's slogan did that with Old English, including Joseph Rodgers!) and John Barber wasn't in business until the early 1820's.Last edited by Voidmonster; 03-15-2018 at 08:29 PM.
