Maybe you guys can help me out here.
I got this last weekend at a flea market.
It is 3-1/2" with ebony handles.
Steel liners & bolsters.
The blade is etched with an otter on it with the word "OTTER" beneath the pic.
I cannot quite make out the tang stamp.
Perhaps someone more familiar with the German companies can make it out.
The blade has been heavily etched by something, I think rust.
Anyone have any ideas as to the maker?
Thanks,
Dale

Re: Otter knife from Germany
Looks to be Gebr. Berns, who had an otter trademark. Goins lists them 1840-present.

Re: Otter knife from Germany
Thank you AKC.
I couldn't read enough of it & I am not too familiar with many of the small German makers.
