Info needed on this straight

Guys:

I just got this and it is said to be 7/8 wide. It is a Lister Knowles, Sheffield - a very heavy blade with original (and beat) horn scales. Ya gotta love the patina. Despite the grainy and poor first pic the edge is said to, "look good." I think the second picture better represents the edge as the pic is clearer. We'll see, but I am hopeful.

Any information or feedback on this one would certainly be welcome.

Gillott, Lister & Knowles were a Sheffield knife and razor manufacturer established in the mid 19th century.
John Gillott, Joel Lister and John Knowles all came from Sheffield families who were in the cutlery business from the 18th century.
Lister and Knowles bought out Gillott and changed the name of the company to Lister & Knowles in 1867.
I don't know when they ceased trading but they were still in business in 1923.
