Rare Vintage Scottish 12-Piece Stag Horn Handle Cutlery Set Gilbert Ross, Inverness | Made by Lockwood Brothers (C†X), Sheffield
Scottish Heritage: Stamped "GILBERT ROSS INVERNESS", a noted high-end ironmonger and cutler in Inverness, Scotland. Operating from late 19th century to mid-20th century. The knotch on the blades, near the handle, as shown, indicate early 20th century.
Sheffield Quality: Bears the famous C†X trade mark of premier Sheffield cutlers Lockwood Brothers, crafted with genuine Firth Stainless Sheffield steel blades.
Authentic Antler Handles: Beautiful natural grain, rich texture, and classic aged patina. Solidly fixed with traditional end caps.
Distinctive Blade Detail: Features classic scalloped thumb notches near the bolsters, characteristic of quality fish/steak eaters.
Condition: Good vintage pre-owned condition. The stag handles show natural grain variations with no structural cracks. Blades show light surface scratching and minor age wear consistent with light use.
Care Note: Hand wash only to preserve the natural stag horn handles.
If these were commissioned today in Scotland, the set would cost about £500. These are already made with amazing provenance.
