Chalwin & Edwards were English cutlers recorded as working between 1895 & 1915 at 70 High Holborn London. They are then recorded as Chalwin & Edwards & Co working at the same premises between 1920 & 1925 (see page 36 of Ron Flook’s ‘The London Knife Book’). This is a nice original Bowie by Chalwin & Edwards & Co at their 70 High Holborn London premises between 1920 & 1925 with original Scabbard. It has undamaged stag antler scales secured by pins. One scale is mounted with a void German silver bar and it has an oval German silver cross guard. It has a clean 6” single edged, steel bowie blade signed by the makers ‘Chalwin - Edwards & Co 70 High Holborn London’. The spine of the blade is 4mm width and the blade is 1" broad at its widest. The Bowie measures just under 10 ¼” overall length. Its original open top brown leather scabbard has a stitched seam to the front and belt loop to the rear. The leather of the scabbard is clean with just very light small areas of carry scuffs & all stitching is intact. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22628 (in Bowies box)
