Stagmania

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Thanks Quick Steel.

I've been told that Case only uses Sambar / India stag.

Very nice old knife Joe. I can't make out any maker's markings in your photos (if there are any). The stag looks like it might be European, reminds me of older Hubertus offerings. But that's just a guess. ::shrug::

Thank you, Charlie.
I was thinking European as well but I really don't know.
There is no stamp on that tang. As far as I know that is pretty unusual.
Thanks for the Hubertus connection. ::handshake::

You're welcome Joe. Back on page 6 I posted an old scout knife from the '60s I believe. It's tang stamp reads "Olivetto". It has stag similar to what is on your knife. Also, like your knife, I have been able to find out nothing about it even though it has a tang stamp. I did find an Italian cutlery company with the name Olivetto but a different logo.....they never answered any of my inquiries. ::shrug::

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger Joe! Until you just said something I didn't realize that it was Case specific either, I was thinking it was stag specific. I've posted about a dozen non-Case knives. Not that I don't have plenty of Case stag. I'm going to blame it on Stagmania! :oops: Add my apologies to Joe's.

More CASE stag...
