I am not sure where this fit in, but I have a question, this is the first hunting cutlass which I have come across in a long time, it have a gilt etched blade and the first WKC 'king's head’. Can anyone read the engraving on the blade?

Thanks Richie- the blade is marked with the WKC 'king's head’ do anyone know when they used that mark ?
Kohl I think was considered more as a retailer who stopped operations circa the early 1880's. With WKC a major manufacturer working in the same period and later with the 'king's head' trademark. Best Regards, Fred
