RichardB Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Clip-point bowie marked WOODHEAD & HARTLEY, made c1850 by George Woodhead, 36 Howard Street, Sheffield; ivory scales, half-horse, half-alligator ... George must have turned a few heads if he was half horse, half alligator with ivory scales .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 This might help, or indeed, just confuse the situation .... Woodhead Sure its "Hartley" not Harley and the description of the inscriptions doesn't seem to match "our" knife, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
