FAWEYSO. Franz Weyland and Son. From what I could find, they mostly made straight razors. This is a pretty old and rare one, I'd say..

This one is not that old, it’s from the 80s. It is a traditional pattern, the gunstock. There is a rather long story connected to my acquisition of this knife, but I won't bore anyone with it here. And, if I believe Mr. Frank Buster, it is “rare”, one of only 60, and I have never seen another one.
Single blade, buffalo horn gunstock, assembled from leftover parts.
