Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I got into my box full of knives and pulled this little one out.  It is not expensive or even of very high quality.  I don't remember when or where I bought it, but I am sure it didn't cost more than a couple of dollars.  I bought it a few years ago simply because it caught my eye.  I like anything that combines knives and guns.

What is interesting about it is the words on it.  I had no idea what they were til today.  I could not read them until greatly magnifying them with the camera.  I am convinced one is "Eagle".  The other one appears to be "W?a?les".

Can anyone make out the second word and do they mean anything to anyone?

I like it

That would be W. Bailes, of London.  An 18th Century gun maker known for making Over/Under turn barrel pistols.  Look familiar:
