Rabone Bros & Co, 297-299 Broad Street, Birmingham, were “foreign merchants” (exporters) of cutlery and guns to Central & South America, and a principal supplier of materials for Cuba’s railway.
As best I can tell, they did not actually manufacture the cutlery they sold. Bernard Levine shows s horn-handled Bowie knife bearing their trademark lion couchant, which he says was probably made in Germany or Bohemia.
