Another What Is It
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 5:39 pm
We have got some good stuff going on here lately.
I recently received an email inquiry from a man in Slovakia and he has asked questions about a Schlieper fixed blade in his possession. He was interested in any info I might give on his knife and he sent me photos which I now cannot find (go figure). I do have some good close-ups of the stamp on the ricasso and I suspect it is a legitimate Eye Brand. One of the words stamped is KOPASSUS and a search reveals that to be an acronym for a special forces unit of the Indonesian military. I do know Schlieper did some volume of business in that part of the world.
Any other thoughts out there? Age? Etc?
I'll post the ones I have and I have asked him to sent the others again so I'll post those when received.
