Original leather scabbard with BOTH original end-fittings AND an undamaged belt loop which is RARE in a Bowie of this age & era.

German Silver (Nickel Silver) hand guard with inset Staghorn grips in SUPPERB condition. They were not known as Mappin Brothers until after 1852 when all four of Joseph Mappins sons had joined the company, after his death. It was a year earlier in 1851 that they opened the Queens Plate and Cutlery Works on Bakers Hill, bound by Little Pond Street and Flat Street. In 1859 there was an argument between the brothers and both the eldest son, Frederick, and the youngest, John, left the company. Frederick Mappin became a politician and was a director of many Sheffield companies. Mappin Brothers continued under Edward and Joseph Charles Mappin and acquired central London showrooms in 1856 and 1861, on King William Street at London Bridge, and Regent Street. The company was bought by Mappin & Webb. And incorporated into their sales and manufacturing structure.
