Jack, I hope you can share some of that PhD work with us, be very interesting to read.

Did they continue the Under X Sovereigns theme? I mean by the start of WW II they could boast Seven Sovereigns perhaps or did Royal Warranty stop with Geo.V?

I've just posted this thread here Will http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ry-industry-1870-1914?p=13709104#post13709104

The Royal Warranty continued up to and including Liz II.

An 1840s account of the Sheffield cutlery industry refers to both the inner and outer scales of a penknife. The inner metal scales provide the 'real foundation' and the outer scales primarily 'ornamental'.
