Trying to ID some old knives left to us by my Father-in-Law who passed away. I can’t find anything on this one at all. Any ideas?

Welcome to AAPK

I can't help much on the knife but certainly interesting stamp - nice bone congress with threaded bolsters... Don't recognize a John Fall... perhaps a home-spun knife of old - abit unique in not having a location also stamped on the knife which possibly suggests early.. Question is where is Hemings

I don’t know anything about it, but IMHO it looks old, and English. Looks to me like it says Hemmings (with two m’s). First line “HEM-”, second line “MINGS”.

You're right Ken

- It is Hemmings now that I see the "-" at end of Hem - or what looks like a hyphen

... I also tend to think smooth bone was used more on this side of the pond but perhaps that's just my perception.... Cool knife with unique bolsters and on a congress too

Yes it is hyphenated on the larger blade. Really struggling to figure this one out! Thanks for the help

My auto correct must have changed it to Hemings in my post. It is two m’s - Hem - Mings
