ADDITIONAL INFO:   According to “Goins’ Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings” Anton Wingen Jr. started making knives circa 1875 and continued at least until the time Goins book was published which was 1998. To the best of my knowledge they are still in business. This company made it a lot contract knives for American companies. The design and composition of this knife is very similar to many that I have seen which were exported to the US after the end of World War II when Germany began rebuilding. It seems some of the cutlery companies that had escaped direct bombing at the end of World War II were able to recover quickly and begin production. Some GIs who had served in Germany started companies importing German knives to the US. I believe this knife was probably made in that era, from the late 1940s to the 1960s. A great knife with superb carbon steel!
