<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 210046, member: 44&quot;]The star and Malta cross marks was originally that of Benjamin Rich. Rogers registered the same mark in 1764. The Joseph Rogers name and trademarks were used up into the 1980s as well as still produced in Sheffield. They had royal warrants from several sovereigns George IV, William IV, Q Vic, Edward VII, and George V.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.eggintongroup.co.uk/history/the-history-of-joseph-rodgers.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eggintongroup.co.uk/history/the-history-of-joseph-rodgers.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eggintongroup.co.uk/history/the-history-of-joseph-rodgers.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The following page is a query on a knife forum. Note that the query has the initials of the sovereigns marks with GIVR, WIVR, VR, EVIIR and GVR. If you scroll down the page to reply #3, it says &quot;Rodgers marks circa 1919.&quot; In the 4th pic #1306 of that reply shows your mark of G crown R. I think this helps in confirming your suspicions of c1920; however, as others have said, this might be just the earliest this knife was made. No telling how long they used the G crown R on their knives.</p><p><a href="http://straightrazorplace.com/razors/87137-joseph-rodgers-sons-query.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://straightrazorplace.com/razors/87137-joseph-rodgers-sons-query.html" rel="nofollow">http://straightrazorplace.com/razors/87137-joseph-rodgers-sons-query.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
