Is anyone familiar with John Middleton who was a Sheffield bowie knife grinder maker in the 1800'S?

I know of 5 Bowies made by John Middleton of Sheffield. These knives date 1830's. These are not to be confused with the contemporary J.

Middleton knives One of these early bowies was recently found in a New England flea market and was for sale at a major gun show this past fall for $22,000. It sold.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
