A large and early Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Sheffield folding bowie knife with checkered ebony grips, German silver mounts, and a push button release on the grip. It is in an original brown leather sheath. The knife has Joseph Rodgers & Sons Cutlers to Their Majesties No. 6 Norfolk Street Sheffield England. The word “Majesties” proves that this was made before the death of Prince Albert, so dates to the US Civil War or earlier. The blade is also stamped with the Maltese crosses at the ricasso (12.25-inches long overall with an 8-inch blade). Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping. CORRECTION: This knife dates to the reign of Edward VII, 1902-1911. Thanks to a knowledgeable and generous customer for pointing this out. Good. A dark blade that has some minor pitting along the back of the blade. Please see photos.
