Tags:

Blade in super condition albeit the hallmarks are somewhat faded , caused by an eager owner over the years.Handle is in good order, at first glances you can be forgiven for seeing what looks like a small hairline in the handle near end but this is a natural flaw in the shell and not damage.Small degree of springback to blade when closed.
The makers mark of {IO} is that of John Oxley. It comes with its box showing it was retailed by Muirhead of Glasgow.
When opened it measures 141mm and when closed measures 80mm.

About Dart Silver LTD

Situated within the Central belt of Scotland (UK), we are a small, family run business.  Indeed, we traded in silver for many years before forming Dart Silver Ltd in 2006.

As we are collectors ourselves, we fully appreciate that money is hard earned!  For this reason we therefore try to provide informative descriptions as well as high quality photographic images of all our items.  Hopefully this will make your purchase as smooth as possible.

Having a good rapport with our ever growing list of repeat customers is important to us.  You will therefore always find us to be professional and enthusiastic in our dealings with you.

While we obviously have to make a living, we strive very hard to offer goods at competitive prices.  In many instances this is at large discounts compared to other dealers or traders.

Above all, we very much appreciate your decision to stop by for a visit and thank you in advance should you decide to shop with us.  Even if you don’t make a purchase this time, please feel free to stop by again soon as we regularly add new stock items.
