Thanks brother. Still tip toesieing smile

c. 1860 "Old fashioned" laminated steel - maybe 1/2 & 1/2?



Greener's "Silver Steel" laminated steel - much more steel



Probably c. 1890 "English machine-forged 3 rod Laminated steel" which was the winner of Phase I of the Birmingham Proof House Trial; browned so the contrast is obviously different



VERY interesting Lefever Optimus with 1890s Laminated Steel
