Description
A very rare completely original Joseph Rodgers & Sons Sheffield catalogue dating from about 1900. It includes folding knives bowie knives exhibition knives table knives and razors . Large format – each page measures 14 1/2 inches x 10 3/4 inches. Full of very detailed accurate line drawings of the knives available from Rodgers factory at the end of the Victorian period. Some of the knives are stamped cutlers to her Majesty and others are shown with cutlers to their Majesties. In total 130 pages of knives and razors. The first three pages are missing but I have been able to source copies of these which will be sold with the catalogue. The entire binding has come loose and the catalogue needs rebinding. A rare opportunity for the serious knife collector as these catalogues are much rarer than the knives.

Dealer information
Fine Sporting Collectables Ltd
My name is Andrew Iosson and I am the Managing Director of Fine Sporting Collectables Ltd.
I have collected sporting guns and related accessories for over 40 years and have been a fulltime dealer in fine antique guns and their accessories since 2001. I formed the limited company in 2003 for internet sales following the establishment of my web site at www.finesportingcollectablesltd.co.uk
I exhibit at all the major antique arms fairs in the UK, including London (Earls Court), Birmingham, Bristol, Bisley and Hertsmere and travel all over the UK to source new pieces and meet with fellow collectors and dealers to trade items.
I am keen to buy and offer sleepy items with little or no restoration and tend not to clean up stock for sale so that the purchaser has the pleasure of cleaning to the particular point at which they are happy with the appearance of the item. I have found this point is a fairly personal thing and varies considerably between collectors.
I am very keen to buy good pieces – either guns or accessories and I am very happy to take items in part exchange or swap.
