Wade and Butchers

[primo]

Hello all,

I saw a Wade and Butcher end on the Bay today that piqued my curiosity. I didn't bid on it as I was out when it ended, but it raised a couple questions that I was hoping to get answered.

First, it says Wade & Butchers on the tang, with an 'S'. I have never seen one like that before. Is it a legit W&B? Second is a question for the restorers out there. To my eye, it looks like it has spent a decent amount of time on the buffing wheel. Is this true?

Hopefully someone can help satisfy my curiosity.
