As previewed in my Packwood thread, here is the latest stubtail to come home with me....
Its a bit rough around the edges, the scales were trash, and there is some rust to deal with.
Manufacturer unknown, only marked "Old English" on the spine, and what looks to be "Superior Temper" on the tang.
Will start getting her cleaned up, and ready for some new clothes here soon. This thread will show the resurrection of this old piece of Sheffield's finest craftsmanship, ca 1820-1830 or so (the GR dates to no newer than 1830, but since there were four King Georges in a row, the start date is a bit more hazy....)
