Thanks-

German Eye is one of the brands they specialize in. I'm sure they can be of some assistance. Nice knives by the way.

Re: German Eye Triplets
Unionpawn,
Sorry to be so slow about responding. The top 2 and likely the 3rd one also, date to 1981 using the tang stamp as a guide. I can't see the stamp clearly on the 3rd knife but since it is a single eye etch, I'd say it was about the same. These were made before the use of the round shield. The round shield 1st appeared in November, 1983 and I am sure it must have been a while before it was used universally.
Hope this helps.

Mike & Ray-
Thanks guys! I love the old German Eyes, but they always are tough for me to date. Seems like tang stamp and shield combo is the way to go to get an idea of age on them from everything I can gather. Thanks again!
