jok 3,036 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I guess you've googled McLaren & Son, Sheffield on or about he date on the blade. Looks very military'ish to me. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,036 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I get the feeling that the sheath was made quite a bit later than the blade.the top one looks like Howill & Son , Sheffield which is an usual name so might yield results on a search. The middle one reminds me of a Bowie I had as a teenager but only because of the brass and leather work. There are a few guys on here who I am sure will be in touch soon. Jok.

Deker 3,453 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 They are pretty standard/ordinary knives and sheaths from 1950-70s era I'd guess. Made before blade length could get you locked up, don't expect to retire on the proceeds! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
