AGR Ivory DR's & Puma Luger Stag Knives

[kootenay joe]

3 3/4" two blade Doctor's knife, both tangs marked: A.G.Russell/1999/Springdale, ARK" I believe it was made in the AGR Knife Shop by cutlers employed by AGR. "Semi Custom" i think is the correct category. Handles i believe to be mammoth ivory.
Has been handled by me but never used. Blade action is just as it should be. No 'issues' that i can find. I do not have the box. I have almost never saved boxes. I am not a box collector.

3 7/8", single blade Serpentine Premium Jack, with clip blade and Stag handles, made by Puma in 1973-4.. Crisp, loud W&T and solid lockup, zero play.
Blade etched "Luger/Pistole 08 " and "1900" "1974". Tang is marked on front: "A.G.Russell/ARK. 72764"; and back tang: "PUMA/Germany/Stainless".
This might be the 'overall nicest' single blade post WW II German folding knife i have owned (at least a hundred)

$200 shipped for both.
I live in Canada but will ship USPS and it could be up to a week before i can get to a USPS P.O.
Knives are returnable for refund if you don't like them.

I emailed AGR asking for specifics on the Doctor's knife. Here is the reply just received:
" These were made with Wooly Mammoth Ivory and were made in the USA, but not in our shop here."

Joe,I believe those were made by Queen.

Thanks Roger. Queen was doing very good work in 1999 !
Surely it is a 'must have' for collectors of Doctors knives ? It's a $200 knife with this wooly mammoth, so the sweet Puma is actually free.
I could convince myself to up the price or buy it myself.

The AGR Stag Puma Luger knife is still available: $80 shipped.
Made in 1973 in Germany by Puma for A.G. Russell, excellent 'Old World' workmanship.
