Re: Can't make out stamp???
Thanks for showing me what it is SUPPOSED to look like, Ray. Great looking knife you got there! ::groove:: I don't think I'm going to get a blade etch like that no matter how hard I try. :lol: I'll be satisfied if I get it looking 1/4 as good as yours.

Re: Can't make out stamp???
Thanks for the info, fellers! You guys are good!!!
This knife is a bit of a relic but I didn't have a Schlieper brand in my "stamp collection"
so I went ahead and got it. It was cheap.
Guess I'll have to wait til it gets here to see if it will clean up.

Can't make out stamp???
Ran across this in a new listing but can't quite make out the stamp.
Seller can't make out the stamp either.
All I can tell is it is "_ _ _LL _ _" over "GERMANY." Looks like there are a couple of "L's"
in the middle????
Anyone dare to guess?
Thanks, Joe

Great input guys!
Notice that they referenced to the shields as "name plates."
These were original ads I ran across and copied from that

I DO prefer the patina But I still clean the handles just to see
what kind of wood they are under all the oil form handling over the years.

You would never know it used to be a hawk bill.
That jigged wood handle is still an oddity - never seen jigged wood before!

Re: Some flea market finds-Worry about "Gassing"?
The shell handle Imperials don't gas for some reason!? They'll shrink up away from the bolsters though. The yellow Colonial has plastic on it - no worries there. Can't tell what the small yellow one is? The tip bolster Imperial is defiantly celluloid. That's the one I would isolate from the others. ...
