Bayleaf Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Did Sheffield start quietly in the Production of Weapons. Not going back that far, but this list from the second year of the reign of Richard II includes two arrowsmiths, both residents of Handsworth. I believe Sheffield area arrowheads enjoyed a high reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Wiki Pistol Image "Made in Utrecht"? Cheek, what's wrong with a local made cannon if you're going to knock our castle about? It's that kind of attitude that started the decline of local industry.... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
