Hey S=K
This is the only mark it has. What would be your opinion of origin. Its on the lockback release ring.

Well WB,
I'm not S-K, but it looks like a genuine United States Quarter, minted in the Denver Mint...
OK...OK...just having fun with the pitch up in the zone, my friend.

Sorry wb, I don't recognise that mark. The shape of the handle seems similar to a photo of a Sheffield one that I have seen but the locking mechanism does not look typical of Sheffield. That is not much to go on I know. Will see if I can find something for you.

That's different than any I've seen. The lever lock on the back is unusual. Overall, I'd say it looks more English than German, but I'm not sure I can say why it gives me that impression. I've attached a pic of a German example.
This might be a good one to post in one of Bernard Levine's forums to see what he says.
