Thanks again everyone, much appreciated .

Paul, I could not believe my eyes when it popped up, I may have pulled something reaching for the BIN button so fast.

Eric, thanks for the info, it does share some characteristics of a Norfolk pattern, another pattern I found that it is similar to is a Humpback.

I think it fits the description of a Eureka pattern.

Awesome knife and pattern John ::tu:: ::tu:: ... that knife just shows old time beauty in and no doubt a great find ::drool:: ... I believe within the last year I saw another knife of a different pattern with the same etch and a completely different maker for sure... I seem to remember it was a CT or MA maker... know for sure I have seen the etch but not sure what knife ::dang::

Beautiful knife.

There was a great old jack of a different pattern, but with the same Wizzard etch, on the cover of one of the Price Guides to Collector's Knives, by Houston Price and Bruce Voyles back in the late eighties or early nineties.

That is a nice old knife, Gary. I like that bone and I like that pattern. ::tu:: ::tu::

BTW, When I was growing up, there was an old humpback trapper that lived down the road from us...... ::facepalm::
