This family company was first based in Meadow Street Sheffield, but later moved to Scotland Street around 1840. It was in 1842 that the first of John Nowill sons, William, joined the business after finishing his apprenticeship. His maker’s marks of ‘D*’ and ‘CROSSKEYS’ remain the marks of the company to this day. This nice example was found in storage in Sheffield and is in ‘as new’ condition having never been used, sharpened or carried. The blade is 10 ½ cm in length and is engraved ‘*J.Nowill & Sons ‘D’ cross keys symbol’. The ricasso is engraved ‘J.Nowill & Sons Sheffield’. The knife has two brass bolsters and mid placed blade release. The knife has lovely coloured stag grips with a brass inlay on one side that could be engraved. A lovely example of a much sought after knife. The price includes U.K. delivery. ED 2497.
