St. Lawrence Cutlery, Germany

I wonder if anyone has information about this little knife. It says "St. Lawrence Cutlery Germany" on the tang.

Welcome to the forums! Although the name of the maker isn't familiar the handles look like it may have been a knife designed for Shriner's members.The hat with the tassel(I think it is called a fez)and the sword and star in the crescent are Shriner's emblems.Datewise I would probably say sometime after WWI and before WWII. Value is always subjective;I.e.: how much you want to sell it for and how much someone is willing to pay.

Thank you, Knife7Knut. The link with the Shriners/Masons is what I suspected. The time frame looks correct as well. I think I overpaid for it, but it's a cool knife.

If it is what you wanted and are happy with it the price was just right.
