Hi Carlos,

I love these old folders!

I am able to locate two references to a Sheffield knife maker named Mappin - a Mappin Brothers and a Mappin & Webb, the latter of which used the "Trustworthy" trademark, and produced cutlery from 1835 to 1964.

What material was used in the construction of the bolsters? Is it a ferrous metal?

Cheers,

Chris
