Two SAK, one swiss one rogers

Post by Mossdancer »

Probably the wrong thing to call the Rogers Sheffield but it is military. What appears to me to be a nose to nose broad arrow mark on handle and tang. Steve if you see this what is the cross referred to as. I think it is an iron cross but I will defer to you.

Hi Moss. That is the star and cross trade mark of associated with Joseph Rodgers and Sons. The cross is called a Maltese cross. It is not a military knife. I believe these are still made today by the Eggington group of companies in Sheffield. :) s-k
