Identification Help
Sometimes I feel like I don't need this much fun. I brought home 2 abandoned knives today, good thing I didn't bring home 3, or there would now be 3 questions instead of just 2. Only 1 question belong here however, so my mystery is finding who made this treasure and maybe an estimate of when. No maker name, only a fine tang stamp and an origin country as Germany. It has / looks like tortoise handles but no other notes. Thanks for your assistance.

Re: Identification Help
That's a nice knife. Can't say who made it. There were quite a few German makers whose names started with "W",( Wingen, Wusthof. Wadsworth, etc.)
There are some German collectors here who probably could help. Good luck. J.O'.

Re: Identification Help
Yeah, that was the impulse to buy it, but that opens the mystery. Thanks
Re: Identification Help
I can commiserate; I have a similar knife with pearl handles, and have not been able to find anything in Levine, Goins or Carter about this particular mark.
