Author	Topic: Re 18th century knives, in British / Irish Sterling
agphile Posts: 798 Registered: Apr 2008	posted 04-20-2008 08:09 PM While versions of the "Sterling" mark are found from various provincial locations, it is worth remembering that Sheffield was the major centre for steel cutlery so the sterling mark on a knife handle is most likely to indicate that it too is indeed Sheffield. And as regards the date of the knives in question, their form is right for the mid 18th century. IP: Logged
