[QUOTE="Gades, post: 664955, member: 24092"] GREAT find, rare. there are 3 other duck head openers, one with a diamond hall mark (pre 1882). but you are in a rare world. there are Bear heads, Ram heads, fish heads, sea monsters, cockerels, seals, a dozen fish and a dozen bulls heads, and a dozen sizes. All rare. but be ware. now everything worth over 20 bused is cast by India, destroying the market. Yours is worth 300, some go up to 900. DONT clean or wire brush. just wash off rust without removing metal, or its worthless. I believe yours to be English made. Blades were made separate to bodies as blades were good steel, usually with all the famous knife brands on them. you would order your blades from Sheffield to suit your wood or cast handles.
