Hiya, and thanks to you both for the feedback. Nice to be told I have an old one..... The blade is etched on both sides and despite the short grip, handles nicely. The ferule fits so tightly and blends so well with the blade that at first I thought it a bolster forged in one with the blade.
Regarding the Fair, it was much as usual though with a handful of empty tables and not as crowded as often is. The less crowded venue meant I spotted stuff I think I would have missed otherwise, ie this particular blade, and an original Indian bullet mould that I will post later.
