Christopher Johnson, who was born in Sheffield in about 1809, started his cutlery business in 1836 in Howard Street. The original partnership was apparently Christopher and Henry Johnson, which was listed in a directory (1837) as C. & H. Johnson, successor to Ward & Co, Howard Street (Broomhead & Ward). Later Marshall and Hibbert took over the business. In 1881, Marshall told the Census that the firm employed 167 workers (114 men, 14 boys, 30 women, and 9 girls). Hibbert’s calculation was ‘about 200’. In the late 19th century, the company operated at Western Works and Western Steel Works in Portobello, with a London agent in Victoria Street, London. In 1955, the company was bought by the famous Sheffield cutler Wostenholm. This is a nice late Victorian era English hunting Bowie belt dagger by Johnson Western Works Sheffield. It has undamaged curved solid Stag antler hilt secured ribbed brass ferrule and oval brass finger guard ball finials. It has a 6 ¼” single edged, spear point steel blade with medial ridge and measures 12 ¼” overall. The spine of the blade is 3mm thick & has a serrated bone cutting / file serrated section. The blade is just under 1 ¼” broad at its widest & has just light staining consistent with age & no damage to the cutting edge.

**VERY RARE**American Civil War Era Confederate Army & Navy ‘Bowie Bayonet’ With Chequered Polished Horn Scales, Etched Blade, Cross Guard With 14mm Diameter Muzzle Ring Cross Guard & Scabbard. Sn 20297 - 20297
Popularly known to the collecting world as the Bowie Bayonet these impressive bayonets were popular with both Union & Confederate troops in both the Army & Navy. Union examples were marked ‘U.S’. Many Confederate Bowie Bayonets were made by the British Sheffield trade when the outbreak of hostilities in 1861 sparked a boom for foreign cutlery manufacturers. Sheffield cutlers reaped handsome returns exporting substantial quantities to the Confederacy. See pages 179, 183 & 193 of The Bowie Knife by Flayderman where examples of Bowie Bayonets are illustrated (we cannot find an exact match for ours which has the quality and weight of a Sheffield made piece. The bayonet charge which can be seen in image 1 taken from a contemporary war artist’s impression illustrates why these impressive weapons would have been useful in combat). Our example, no doubt a Confederate weapon has a 10” long deep swept Bowie blade (15” overall). The blade is undamaged and has just staining consistent with age. One side of the blade has etched scrollwork decoration which is rubbed in areas. There are no visible maker or date marks. It has a steel cross guard with 14mm diameter muzzle ring (we are uncertain which rifle this bayonet was made for). Its polished horn ergonomic scales are undamaged with no chips or cracks and have chequered panels. Each grip is secured by 5 pins. One scale has a sprung knurled steel release button which works as it should. The Bowie bayonet is contained in its original leather scabbard which has a brass throat mount with frog locket and brass chape. The leather has some surface scuffing consistent with age and service use but all leather and stitching are clean & intact. The price for this very rare Bowie Bayonet includes UK delivery.
