It has the same marking on the end as the one with A Monty with three stars as in one of your pictures when I cleaned it up. Thick cutting iron with "Jessop's Best A MONTY and Roxton Pond QC" stamped on it with a solid hardwood body in excellent condition. Old tools with history give me lot of joy of collecting them. I much appreciate your information and effort. Cheers.
