On offer today is a splendid genuine Sheffield Sterling Silver Handled Letter Opener/Meat Skewer which bears the Kings pattern which is very pleasing on the eyes. The piece has a genuine steel blade which has a Mirrored finish. The handle is fully hallmarked with the letter W for 1864 along with the Lion and the Crown and the Makers mark which is H.H. The Silver handle on this particular is in good condition as the photos reflect! The Letter opener is 29 cm in length and weighs 90 grammes.
It is a very desirable piece and would cost an awful lot of money in a retail outlet today.
