Winchester by Carl Schlieper??

Post by keithw »

This one is being advertised as being made by Schlieper (Olbertz factory) in 1973.

I don't see any markings on the tang stamp, and it just doesn't look right to me.
But I could be wrong. ::shrug::

What do you guys think?

This knife was made for J.W.Hickey by Olbertz in the mid 1970's . It is a good quality unauthorized reproduction that was imported by the thousands. It's a wonder that we don't see more of them ! ::uc::

Thanks Bob!

I surprised that I haven't seen them before.
I wouldn't mind having one. ::hmm::
