Thread: Wm Congreaves/ Naylor and Co's Celebrated Steel

Thanks, Neil! It seems my gathered info was a bit off by at least half! Still, it was fun to dig and especially good to learn more, particularly what was happening within these companies during William's reign. So my razor might well have been a John Deere plow, eh? I suppose this monster resembles one!
Very good of you to supply this information. As to my original post, what color/type of horn and style collars do you reckon it originally came with?
I do wish to clothe it in period scales if I can find the pieces!

Again, Many Thanks,
Tom

Looks about right to - Lummus shows one here:



Looks like dark horn. Notice that having "Naylor & Cos Celebrated Steel" on the tang is taken by Lummus to advertise thir steel in America.
