The knives have pistol handles, with a small “bump” roughly midway along the handle – a detail we’ve never seen. Two of the knives are signed “George Butler; Sheffield England”, while the other two are signed “C L Pinder Cutlers; Made in Sheffield England”. The four forks are stamped “Butler EPNS A1 England”, while the spoons are hallmarked. A lovely and very serviceable partially assembled set in excellent condition.

English, ca. 1900

Lengths: Knives: 9 ½”; Forks: 7”; Spoons: 7 ¼”

Price: $75
