I received J. Nowill & Sons made F/S knife, 3rd pattern. It came un-sharpened, wrapped in oiled wax paper and the black leather sheath in a plastic bag. The blade is polished and blued. The cross guard is fitted correctly with no gaps or light visible. Overall the construction of the knife looks really good. Handle has a raised "crossed keys and asterisk" logo. One side (Inside) of the cross guard is stamped J. Nowill & Sons SHEFFIELD ENGLAND. The other side is stamped with a postwar J. Nowill & Sons cross guard Broad Arrow and a Diamond marking. This is a solid example of a post war late 3rd pattern F/S knife.

The center line of the knife is off center near the tip, making the tip require reworking to achieve the proper shape. The finish is excellent. Fitment of the crossguard to the blade adequate. Overall shape is good. Whoever is grinding your blades needs training.
