<p>[QUOTE=&quot;L0z, post: 210015, member: 3918&quot;]9inch Joseph Rodgers &amp; Sons Chef&#039;s Knife (13 inches in total inc. handle)</p><p><br /></p><p>On the blade, the legend reads Joseph Rodgers &amp; Sons, Cutlers to his Majesty, Sheffield England with G (Crown) R. According to my research Joseph Rodgers &amp; Sons </p><p>were appointed cutlers to His Majesty King George IV in 1822. I am trying to determine whether the mark on this knife indicates it was produced circa 1822 during the rein of George IV or circa 1910, during the rein of King George V.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect it&#039;s circa 1822 as I have a piece of furniture that has a similar mark, G (Crown) R V which I know for sure was produced around 1920, under King George V. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody know more about these marks and whether my suspicion can be confirmed. These knives are quite desirable, and of course there is a substantial difference in the value, between these two periods.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]61289[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61291[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
