A Great Greaves!
Found this nice Greaves last night for a great BIN, 7/8 with a thumb notch...can't resist a Greaves, and can't resist a thumb notch.
Looking forward to restoring this one and bringing it back to life.

The seller sent me a message after I purchased it, was his grandfather's, told him I was going to restore it and would send him pics if he liked. Seller was a super nice guy, a real gentleman.

Yes, would like to find out some more about dating this one...with the stumpy tang, am assuming it will be early 1800's...love the shape of this blade. Originally Posted by Substance

I saw that Phrank & almost bought it. It was $100 BIN. I waited & took my chances on a Wm Greaves & Sons & won it for $53.99, just pennies more than the bidder below me. Check it out, eBay item #311054821551. It has a spot I'll have to remove from the blade but so what. It has a great smile to it!

Did you happen to look at the bids on the one I got Phrank? I think I won it by $0.44 or something like that. Originally Posted by Phrank
