Re: Any information would be greatly appreciated
We need more info. What does it measure in the closed position? Also a close up of the tang stamp.
Edit: If it measures 4.5" closed, it is a pattern #37. If it is 3.25", it's a pattern 38. Both patterns are a serpentine stockman.
Can't be sure about the tang stamp but I would say your knife was made in the early 1950's. The crown over Q stamping is listed as 1945-55 but I'd bet 1950-55.
2nd edit: The rounded bolsters point to a 4.5" knife. The 3.25" knife had squared bolsters.

I believe that that tang stamp was used from 1946-1948. I'm sure some one more knowledgeable will be along. And welcome to AAPK.

Like Wayne said in the other post looks like Delrin imitation winter bottom , and that stamp looks early 50's.
Later one in better shape.

Here's a #37 from the "no stamp used era", 1961-1971. The etch is still visible and notice this one has a small spay blade instead of a sheep foot. The knife in the OP appears to have imitation Winterbottom handles. Would be interesting to know what year they began using these handles as opposed to real bone.

Queen started using Delrin in 1972. They called it "Queen Stag".treefarmer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 4:30 pm Would be interesting to know what year they began using these handles as opposed to real bone. 003.JPG

Info from my catalog research......
Bone Stag (Rogers) appears in catalog 1947,49,50
Frontier bone stag (Winterbottom) starts in 1952-70
Starting in 1972 - Handle = Queen Stag (Delrin)
Rogers Bone stopped shipping around 1962
