German and Possible French Knives

Post by RockyDig »

Hello, I am new to the world of pocket knives and was hoping someone could give me some information. I just picked up some pocket knives from an auction and wanted to know about them and possible values.

Thanks in advance!!

the first is french (caligny is near cherbourg), potentially a promotional item for this brasserie (brewery or chop-house, today there is no brewery in this town) - probably made beetween 19th and 20th century, not very priced

Welcome to AAPK.

Stan is our 'French Connection' so what ever he tells you about the French knife is spot on. The other two are low value shell handle knives.
