A little maas and a little lovin' ought to do the trick, don't you think?

Without further ado, here is the scan

hi,
I was very jalous yesreday, but this mornin' the mailman(was a nice girl...) brought
that:

6/8° sheffield joseph rodgers n' sons,
but this is not special exept scales...
I v **y

bye
Actually I think that you have it backwards, that blade IS special (because Joseph Rodgers one of the absolute top Sheffield brands) but I do not think that the scales are special. Those scales do not look like ivory, they look like bone. They are too thick, the shape is wrong, and the grain does not look right for ivory. Really nice blade though!
